Congratulations, Dr. Amy Strivens!
Amy Strivens successfully defended her dissertation on July 11, 2025. The title of her dissertation is “Preparatory switching of attention to voices in a multitalker setting”. Amy was supervised by Prof. Dr. Iring Koch (Lehrstuhl 1, Cognitive and Experimental Psychology) and Prof. Dr. Aureliu Lavric (University of Exeter).
Amy has since started a postdoc position at the University of Tübingen. Great job, Amy, and we wish you all the best for your future!
