Research Interests

My research explores the interplay between emotion, cognition, embodiment and consciousness.  I am particularly interested in implications of this work for social cognition.  In my work, I draw on diverse methods of social and cognitive psychology, including techniques from social neuroscience. Please see a detailed description of my research interests here.
