Biography/ Background
I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Program Director of the Graduate Diploma in Psychology.
I was born and educated in the UK. I relocated to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in 2017.
I primarily study human memory accuracy. For example, I have led projects examining how accurately groups of people recall shared experiences together, how accurately eyewitnesses recall crimes, and how accurately jurors recall trial evidence. Importantly, I am also interested in knowing how human memory accuracy can be improved.
I specialise in teaching people about memory, research methods, statistics, and the history of psychology. I have lectured to a range of different audiences including undergraduate students, academics, medical professionals, and senior police officers.
