BIO
I am a PhD student in the Brain Systems and Neurotherapeutics Lab at Deakin University. For my project, I am studying the neural and behavioural mechanisms of reward-modulated executive function in autism spectrum disorder. My research focuses on how different forms of reward influence motivational and cognitive processes, and ultimately aims to inform strategies and interventions to support engagement, learning, and cognitive performance for autistic students.
