Welcome!
This website is primarily focused on my research in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Ghent.
About My Research
I am a first year Ph.D. fellow at the University of Ghent in
Belgium, and I study the intentional inhibition of action under the
direction of Dr. Marcel Brass.
My primary interests
involve agency, volition, self-regulation (incl. goal selection,
motivation & willpower), ideomotor processing, and cognitive
conflict. I am
also
interested in the interplay between conscious and
unconscious processing in human action production.
Prior to arriving in Belgium, I received my Master's degree at San
Francisco State University, where I worked in Dr.
Ezequiel Morsella's Action and Consciousness Lab. There I
investigated: the role of propioceptive feedback in the sense of
agency; the neural signature of persisting beyond the point of
perceived depletion; three forms of cortical binding; the perceptual
and motor components of subvocalization; and the various processes that
modulate the urge to
quit.
