Professor of Psychology, University of Westminster Much of my research over the past two decades has centred on how people behave while they are online, as well as considering what the internet has to offer for psychologists in research and teaching contexts. Some of it has been methodological in nature, for example focusing on web-based psychological measurement, validity of online research techniques, and ethics of online data collection. Other work has focused on the application of these techniques to topics including online self-disclosure, self-presentation, privacy concern, effects of recreational drug use, and online fraud and deception. My current focus is generally on factors affecting how people engage with online technologies, potential influences of online stimuli on our behaviour, and questionnaire based measurement of cognitive problems.
Associate Research Professor of Human Development and Family Studies and Director of the Research Translation Platform, Penn State I am a community psychologist and social scientist studying policymakers’ and researchers’ behavior related to the use of research evidence in policymaking. In 2017, I was recruited to Penn State University as an Assistant Research Professor to (1) create translational research products, (2) supervise trainees conducting research on policy engagement, and (3) facilitate team science around translating research for policymakers. My unique experience co-developing and implementing a behavioral model for improving policymakers’ use of scientific evidence, known as the Research-to-Policy Collaboration (RPC) model, offered a compelling opportunity to conduct applied research and engage in translational activities with academic partners. Over the last 5 years, I have become a recognized leader inside and outside Penn State in translational research and science communication. I have received the National Prevention Science Coalition’s System Wide Prevention in Congress Award (2016), APA Division 27 Public Policy Award (2018), and the Society for Prevention Research Public Service Award (2019) for my contributions.
