Subject area
Cognitive psychology / biological psychology / research methods and statistics
On completing my PhD in 1997 at the University of Dundee I undertook a post-doctoral research position at the University of Sussex. In 2000 I then went on to work with Unilever R&D at Port Sunlight before taking up my first faculty position at the University of Chester in 2004. I commenced working at Sheffield Hallam University in March 2010.
My teaching has in the past focused in the areas of cognitive psychology and biological psychology, at all levels including Masters.
