Dr Andrea Greve

I’m an Investigator Scientist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge, where I also serve as Director of the MPhil in Basic and Translational Neuroscience. My research focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of human memory. By combining behavioural experiments with advanced neuroimaging methods, including functional MRI and EEG/MEG, I test cognitive theories to understand whether, how, and what we remember. I’m especially interested in how brain networks support distinct memory processes and I use neural network simulations to link cognitive theories with observed neural dynamics. I began my academic career in Germany and completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh. I was subsequently awarded a fellowship at Cardiff University before joining the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge. Alongside my research, I teach across Psychology, Cognitive Science and Neuroscience, reflecting a broad and interdisciplinary commitment to education. At Pembroke College, I’m a Director of Studies for Psychological and Behavioural Sciences, where I support students’ academic development.
