Eleanor Hyde

PhD Student & Graduate Teaching Assistant

I am a Cognitive Psychologist and part-time PhD student in my fourth year, with a focus on cognitive plasticity - particularly how everyday activities, such as video gaming, can influence cognitive performance. My research also explores cognitive ageing, a critical topic in our increasingly ageing society. My supervisor is Professor Claudia von Bastian and I am a member of her Cognitive Ability and Plasticity Lab
 

In addition to my doctoral research, I have gained substantial experience in teaching and supervision, working closely with both undergraduate and postgraduate students. I am passionate about mentoring and supporting the academic development of students, fostering a collaborative and engaging learning environment.
 

Alongside my academic pursuits, I have worked as a Research Associate, where I coordinated data collection for a large-scale cognitive training study spanning the lifespan (ages 18-85). This role has allowed me to hone my skills in project management, data collection, data analysis, and international collaboration.
