Research Fellow
University of Birmingham
Leading experiments in sensorimotor neuroscience — using EEG, psychophysics and motion capture to reveal how the brain encodes, predicts and recalibrates natural hand actions.
About
A young academic-entrepreneur working at the seam between neuroscience and technology.
My research asks a deceptively simple question: how does the brain command the body to act in the real world? To answer it I combine EEG to read the neural signatures of movement, psychophysics of touch to probe how we sense contact and force, and motion capture to measure action with millimetre precision — closing the perception–action loop in extended reality.
Previously at Meta, I worked on the markerless, scalable hand-tracking that is now an integral part of the Quest product line — putting camera-based hand input into the hands of millions of users worldwide. Beyond the lab I build: as Co-Founder & Director of Motion Dynamics I translate that science into hand-tracking hardware, haptics and XR software, and I teach the next generation of scientists to do the same.

Markerless hand tracking
Hand tracking, shipped to millions
At Meta I helped develop markerless, scalable hand tracking — camera-based input that needs no gloves or controllers and holds up across real-world hands, lighting and motion. That technology is now integral to the Quest line, letting millions of people worldwide reach out and touch virtual worlds with nothing but their hands.
