Research interests
My research areas cover some specific areas in biopsychology related to brain reward and the neuropharmacology of brain reward. The areas of the brain associated with brain reward are also those areas closely involved in drug addiction, so my research has broadened into more general addiction areas. I have also been teaching personality for the last few years and so my research also includes aspects of personality such as self-discrepancy, trait measures, depression, anxiety, and coping - especially how these relate to substance use, disordered eating, workaholism, and other problem behaviours.
