Emily Phillips

Emily is a PhD student funded by the Leverhulme Trust. Her research aims to investigate the influences of early parent-child interaction on child attention, learning and socio-emotional development, and how these influences are substantiated in the brain. Before joining the UEL BabyDevLab, Emily worked as a Research Assistant for John Duncan at the MRC, Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge University. There she worked on a parent-child book-sharing training intervention for pre-school children, developed by Lynne Murray and Peter Cooper at the University of Reading.  Prior to working at the CBU, Emily obtained a First Class Honours degree in Psychology from the University of York, before completing a master’s in Developmental Psychopathology at Durham University.
