I obtained my BSc in Psychology and MSc in Neuroscience from University College London. Towards the end of my undergraduate training I became interested in the way in which the brain represents space; in particular I wanted to ask how three-dimensional space is represented. This led to me undertaking a PhD supervised by Kate Jeffery and Hugo Spiers (also at UCL) in which I used behavioural and in-vivo electrophysiological techniques to determine how the brain represents spatial orientation within three-dimensional environments. I joined the Tripodi lab in September 2015 as a postdoctoral researcher, where I will use a combination of behavioural, optical and electrophysiological techniques to investigate the neural mechanisms that control goal-oriented movements in mice
