Brief profile

Dr Lindell joined the School of Psychological Science in 2009, having previously worked as a lecturer at the University of Wales, Bangor (2004-2008) and Kingston University, London (2008-2009). She teaches courses in cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience across all year levels, and is particularly interested in supervising projects in these areas.

Her research concerns all aspects of human laterality, including both high and low level cognitive processes, with particular focus on differences in hemispheric strategies for the perception and expression of language and emotion.
