Associate professor, UCL
My research interests lie in the domain of emotion/affective science and nonverbal behaviour. Much of my work is concerned with the empirical investigation of the socio-cognitive and affective processes in human perception and behaviour. This includes research on facial expressions, especially morphological and dynamic features and their role in emotion interpretation. More recently, I started to explore commonalities and differences in human and machine classification of emotions, with a particular focus on how various elicitation methods (i.e., posed, spontaneous, naturalistic) influence recognition accuracy. Other research interests relate to the general area of social perception and attribution, particularly aspects of face perception and various factors (i.e., social context, face realism, ethnicity) that moderate people’s judgements.

I am a PhD researcher in the Department of History at the University of Sheffield. My research looks at the history of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and its intersection with the development of British clinical psychology between 1948 and 1990. It focuses on the way in which distinct, and changing, conceptions of ‘science’ and ‘evidence’ underpin the conceptual components of this important psychological category. More broadly, my research is about the way in which particular scientific reasoning and methodology operates in clinical and therapeutic spaces and the implications this has for conceptions of psychological
distress.

Research Fellow in Clinical, Education and Health Psychology, UCL
I am a Research Fellow at UCL with an interest in how we can support better mental health in people who have experienced early adversity, including those who have spent time in the care system living in foster care or children's homes. I am especially interested in how we can use relationships with other people as a way to support positive mental health outcomes after trauma or adversity. In 2022, I took up a post as a post-doctoral Research Fellow on the ReThink study, a project focused on understanding what makes a difference to the mental health of care-experienced young people moving to secondary school or turning 18, under the Principle Investigator, Professor Rachel Hiller (UCL) and Professor Lisa Holmes (University of Sussex).
I completed my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology at Jesus College Oxford before training as a secondary school science teacher with a specialism in Physics. During this time I became involved in the project that has become Lighthouse Pedagogical Trust, a not-for-profit children's residential care provider and innovator in the sector. Through this and my teaching experience became increasingly focused on trying to better understand what can be done to better support care-experienced young people.

I completed my PhD entitled 'Understanding long-term fostering relationships: phenomenological and contemporary attachment theory perspectives' in 2023 at UCL.
