University of Cambridge Research Profile is linked here.
At the University of Cambridge, my research takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining anthropology, psychology, linguistics, and human behavioural ecology to better understand the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural influences on human cognition and behaviour.
PhD Research
My PhD research focuses on differences in how people experience and perceive time, examining the relationship between Mental Time Travel (MTT) and Linguistic Relativity. I study how linguistic variation in expressing time shapes memory, mental representations of time, and perceptions of future events. This work aims to advance understanding of the cognitive processes underlying time perception.
MPhil Research
My MPhil research explored how neighbourhood-level socio-ecological factors—such as population density, ethnic diversity, and crime rates—affect psychological outcomes in large, multi-ethnic urban populations. I focused on the schizotypy continuum, a range of cognitive traits including supernatural beliefs, eccentricity, paranoia, and unusual perceptual experiences. This work connects evolutionary and clinical psychology, offering insights into cognitive diversity and its relevance for understanding schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. Although my MPhil degree is complete, this research remains active, and I am preparing publications based on the collected data.
Engagement and Collaboration
I welcome academic collaborations and am also open to consultancy opportunities where my expertise in human cognition and behaviour can help address challenges in fields such as technology, economics, healthcare, and urban development.
