Research Description

My research interests focus on multisensory processing and its effects on attention, and memory, and learning, and I am particularly interested in using a combination of virtual reality (VR), eye tracking, and computational modeling to study these processes. I have so far conducted a project investigating the effects of multisensory object processing on later memory, for which I am writing a manuscript and will submit as a first-author publication. I have also developed a flexible experimental framework in virtual reality with eye tracking, which I will use to export my existing projects to more naturalistic settings.
