As an Experimental Cognitive Psychologist, my research focuses on problem-solving from a distributed cognition perspective, specifically Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and human-AI interaction (HAII). I transitioned into academia after spending over 11 years as a Financial Analyst in investment banking and various industries. This experience has allowed me to observe human behaviour involving advanced technology use in time-pressured situations, leading to my current research interests. I investigate how evaluative pressure and anxiety affect cognitive performance and how modern technology use impacts well-being.
