My Interview
- What topics do you work on?
  
  I am interested in lifespan development, learning and plasticity. My current research focus is executive functions, such as reasoning and working memory, and their neural substrates.
  
  What methods do you use?
  
  I have done experimental behavioural and neuroimaging studies in the past, including a cognitive training study in schools. I am currently working with large, publicly available data-sets and use multivariate statistical tools like Structural Equation Modelling to better understand cognitive development.
  
  Who was your favourite teacher?
  
  There were several teachers who had a big impact on me. My Maths teacher showed me how fun problem-solving is and my English teacher made me want to go out and explore the world.
  
  Typical day
  
  Every day is a little different but I spend several hours analyzing data or writing up results for presentations or papers. I also do some teaching in Experimental Psychology.
