I'm a Lecturer (equivalent to Assistant Professor in the USA) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cyprus. My interests and expertise span multiple disciplines and are all applied in a translational research program focused on understanding heterogeneity and early developmental mechanisms involved in autism and atypical neurodevelopment. I did my undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of California, Davis. Shortly after, I did a couple years of postgraduate research at both the UC Davis MIND Institute and UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain. I then moved to the University of Cambridge and obtained my PhD in the Department of Psychiatry at the Autism Research Centre with Prof Simon Baron-Cohen. I continued in Cambridge after the PhD, holding post-doctoral fellowships from Jesus College, Cambridge and the British Academy.
