In January 2023 I started my project funded by the Australian Research Council entitled: Music and Speech as a Window into the Predictive Brain.

My postdoc investigated rhythmic priming from music to language in adults and children, working with Prof. Barbara Tillmann and A/Prof. Reyna Gordon.

I was based in the Auditory Cognition and Psychoacoustics Team in Lyon, and was funded by an NIH grant awarded to Reyna Gordon (Chief Investigator) and Barbara Tillmann (Co-Investigator).

In my first postdoc position, I investigated rhythmic priming from music to language both behaviourally and with electroencephalography, in adults and children.

I was jointly affiliated with the Auditory Cognition and Psychoacoustics and the Dynamics of Language Teams at the University of Lyon 1 and 2 respectively.

My Phd thesis was entitled: The Nature of Syntactic Processing in Music and Language, completed under the supervision of Prof. William F. Thompson and Prof. Genevieve McArthur.

My Master’s thesis was entitled: Effects of Musical Valence on the Cognitive Processing of Lyrics.

I completed my Bachelor of Psychology with first class Honours and a thesis entitled: Music and Language: Do they Draw on Similar Syntactic Working Memory Resources?
