About
In January 2023, I started my own lab at McMaster University in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience, & Behaviour. Please visit the lab website for up-to-date information on what my students and I are working on: beatlab.mcmaster.ca! McMaster is a world-leader in cognitive neuroscience of music research, with amazing facilities like the LIVELab, and interdisciplinary institutes, like the McMaster Institute for Music & the Mind. I am so excited to be a part of this vibrant community and always looking for motivated students and postdocs. Please visit the lab website for more information.
Before moving to McMaster University, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. I hold a PhD in neuroscience from the University of California, Davis, supervised by Dr. Petr Janata. Previously, I attended the University of Cincinnati College–Conservatory of Music and studied with Allen Otte of the Percussion Group Cincinnati, earning a Bachelors of Music in percussion performance. I also hold an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge, where I worked at the Center for Music & Science, supervised by Dr. Ian Cross. Additionally, I have been a visiting researcher at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience and the Stanford University Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics.
