Profile
I have an MA (Hons) Psychology, awarded by the University of Aberdeen and a PhD in Visual Neuroscience, awarded by the University of Nottingham. I was appointed to the post of Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Leicester in 2007 and Associate Professor in 2015. I hold Senior Fellowship of Advance HE (SFHEA) and Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) status with the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Research
My work has been funded by the Alzheimer's Society, British Academy, Fight for Sight, Freemasons' Grand Charity, Human Frontier Science Program, Irish ME Trust, ME Research UK and Thomas Pocklington Trust.
In addition to my own research programme, I am Research Lead for Vision Sciences.
