Research interests
My research area was initially in a specific area in biopsychology related to brain reward. The areas of the brain related to reward are also those areas closely involved in drug addiction, so my research has broadened into more general addiction areas including behavioural addiction. I have also taught units in statistics and personality and most recently psychological testing, 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. In addition, I have become involved in animal behaviour research related to dogs, sheep, and marmosets.
