I grew up in Portugal and graduated in Psychology from the University of the Algarve (Portugal). I did my Ph.D. at the University of Glasgow investigating stroke patients who suffered from visual neglect. After my Ph.D. I undertook a post-doctoral research position at the Brain and Mind Institute at the Western University (London, Ontario, Canada) using functional magnetic resonance imaging to study perception and action. I joined the University of East Anglia (UEA) in 2013. In my free time, I enjoy running and sci-fi movies and novels. If you are interested in research opportunities in my lab, please get in touch!

I graduated with a degree in Psychology and an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience from the UEA in 2022. I had the privilege of working on the C-SIGHT trial for both my undergraduate and MSc projects. I am now in the 3rd year of my PhD with the Neurolab and my research involves how humans process objects. I use multiple methods to conduct my research including eye tracking and fMRI. In addition, I have a special interest in how sensorimotor experience can shape how we process objects and plan to test individuals who have upper limb differences.

I graduated with a BSc in psychology from UEA in 2021, and an MSc in cognitive neuroscience in 2022. During my undergraduate dissertation, with Dr George Malcolm, I examined how ASD traits influence self-referential processing of scenes. I joined the Neurolab in 2020 as a 3rd-year undergraduate research assistant, looking at how facial palsy affects cognition, and experiences of pain and fatigue. In 2021, I was awarded a UEA School of Psychology scholarship, to fund my MSc. During the completion of my MSc project with Dr Stephanie Rossit, I used eye-tracking to investigate how attention is influenced by object graspability during visual search. Earlier this year, I was awarded a UEA School Of Psychology PhD studentship to work with Dr Mintao Zhao (The Person and Space Perception Lab) and Dr Stephanie Rossit. Inspired by my time as a research assistant, I will use behavioural and EEG methods to investigate how facial palsy influences emotion and face processing. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking my dogs, and attempting to write a novel.

I graduated with a degree in Psychology from UEA in 2024. During my undergraduate dissertation, I investigated body representation deficits in stroke survivors using drawing and brain imaging data from the c-SIGHT Trial. During this time, I developed an interest in neuropsychological research, particularly within stroke research. After my degree I worked in the Neurolab as a Research Associate on a study in collaboration with MIT, this study investigated intuitive physical reasoning in stroke survivors. I now work in the Neurolab as a Research Associate on the SIGHT trial. In my free time, I enjoy reading and cooking new recipes.

I’m originally from Italy and graduated in Mind Sciences from the University of Turin. I then moved to Norwich, where I completed my Ph.D. at UEA, conducting behavioral studies, EEG, and computational techniques to explore how we perceive emotions from facial expressions.

During my postdoctoral work at UEA, I contributed to the NeuroLab EyeFocus project, supporting the validation, refinement, and improvement of the EyeFocus app for portable rehabilitation of spatial neglect.

I’m now a lecturer at UEA, where I get to combine my love for teaching with my passion for research. Outside of academia, I love creating—whether working with clay, wood, or paint. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and, of course, watching my cat peacefully nap!

Currently, I am studying my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at UEA with aspirations of proceeding to a doctorate to become a Clinical Neuropsychologist. I have past experience of working in Ipswich Hospital's Neurology department so I am keen to expand my clinical knowledge further by participating in Dr Rossit's Neurolab research.

I am currently in my third year of studying psychology at UEA, and I have also worked as a research assistant in the Neurolab. My main interest is in the field of clinical neuropsychology, and I am currently writing my dissertation on egocentric and allocentric neglect post-stroke. In my free time I love to read and journal, and I aim to pursue a career in clinical psychology after graduating. 

I am an undergraduate psychology student aspiring to conduct my own research one day! I love music, art and reading. In particular, The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman Doidge. After all, neurons that wire together fire together! 

I am a third-year psychology undergraduate student at UEA, who has an interest in clinical neuropsychology. I am currently undertaking my undergraduate dissertation project, which examines deficits in the online control of visually guided reaching post-stroke. My work as an RA at the neurolab also has a focus on stroke research. After graduating, I am to gain relevant clinical experience to later progress onto the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. 

I grew up in Latvia and graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Latvia. After relocating to the UK, I qualified as a Mental Health Nurse. I have extensive work experience within the NHS, in both inpatient and community settings. While working as a Memory Assessment Nurse , I developed a strong interest in brain health and neuropsychology. I subsequently completed an MSc in Clinical Associate in Psychology apprenticeship at the University of East Anglia (UEA). I am currently collaborating with the NeuroLab, Shaftesbury Icanho in Stowmarket, and Headway hubs in Norfolk and Waveney on my Doctoral thesis project, which explores the lived experiences of adults with dysexecutive syndrome following acquired brain injury.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of East Anglia, where I had the opportunity to work as a research assistant in the Neurolab. During my time there, I focused on studying egocentric and allocentric processing in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. After graduating from UEA, I gained experience as an assistant psychologist in both an inpatient forensic unit and a children’s hospital. I am currently in the first year of my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with my thesis project centred around the SIGHT trial. I am eagerly looking forward to the new opportunities and challenges my role in the Neurolab will bring!

I am currently in the final year of my undergraduate Psychology degree with a placement year at the UEA. This year, I'm studying brain and cognition, the magical visual world, clinical neuropsychology, and sleep psychology. During my placement, I worked in a care home in South Wales, where I looked after individuals with dementia, aiding them with many different tasks and facing new challenges every day. After graduation, I want to further my education by completing the cognitive neuroscience MSc at the UEA. My goal is to have a career in clinical neuropsychology, focusing on rehabilitation for individuals with acquired brain injuries. In my free time I love to cook, go on walks, and look after my growing collection of houseplants.

I am currently an undergraduate in the lab, working on my dissertation exploring whether gaze behavior reflects visuomotor affordances, using eye-tracking equipment to collect data. My main interests lie within neuropsychology, particularly in understanding the cognitive and neurological changes that occur following a stroke. Outside of this, I enjoy running and reading fictional murder mysteries.
