Qualifications

  • PhD: Individual differences in reaction time variability: A combined psychometric and electroencephalographic approach
    2011

Teaching and Supervision

I support the research activity of trainees on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course (DClinPsy). This includes formal teaching in research methods, statistics, and psychometrics, as well as supervision and ad-hoc support of trainees in their thesis projects.

Research Interests

I am interested in the social epidemiology of mental health, particularly geographical inequalities in mental health, the relationship between identity and health, and measuring the impact of socio-political events on mental health. 

Postgraduate Project Opportunities

I am willing to supervise a PhD
