I am a Lecturer in Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London and Co-Director of the MSc in Music, Mind, and Brain (MMB) and MMB Research Group. I am interested in the psychological and cultural foundations of complex human behaviours, such as music and art, and the role they play in society and cultural evolution. My research combines methods from cross-cultural psychology, neuroscience, machine learning, computational music cognition, large-scale online experiments, and big data.

See my work on how cultural transmission shapes the evolution of human song, read about the influence of weather conditions on UK music success, or check out REPP, a Python package to run high-precision synchronisation studies over the internet, such as tapping to the beat of music.
