Supervision

I am always enthusiastic to hear from potential PhD students. Please get in touch.

A PhD with me will involve using robust and open science methods to address theoretical ideas in cognitive science. Plus extensive mentoring on all aspects of the scholarly life, conducted in Sheffield’s best coffee shops.

Specific projects I am currently seeking students for are here. Some advice about applying is here.
