I am an Associate Professor at the School of Psychological Sciences at Macquarie University and one of the founding members of the Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science (MACCS) and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD). My research employs experimental methods to explore the workings of the mind, particularly the automatic processes involved in visual word recognition and letter processing. I have published extensively in leading journals such as Psychological Review and the Journal of Experimental Psychology, and I currently serve as an associate editor for Psychological Science. My interests lie in the mechanisms of masked priming and the cognitive processes underlying language and writing systems, including Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic. I have collaborated with researchers to develop models explaining how readers can tolerate letter order distortions, as exemplified by the 'Cambridge' phenomenon. My teaching includes cognitive psychology at the undergraduate level, and I supervise numerous research projects related to cognitive psychology and reading processes. I am committed to advancing the understanding of cognitive control and the underlying theoretical frameworks that can inform future research in this dynamic field.
