Doctoral Researcher, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Birmingham in 2019. Whilst completing his degree, I worked as a Research Assistant in the Cook Lab and assisted with research investigating facial movement kinematics. I am now completing a PhD supported by the Medical Research Council (MRC) doctoral development programme.
