Research Summary
I am a biological psychologist interested in developmental psychopathology. I am particularly interested in antisocial behaviour and study risk mechanisms underlying antisocial development from infancy onward. An important goal of my research is to better understand the mechanisms that are involved in the development of persistent antisocial behaviour so that we can ultimately develop more effective prevention and treatment programmes. There is a growing consensus that both child-specific factors (i.e., genetic, temperamental) and social factors (e.g., early social adversity) contribute to the development and maintenance of antisocial behaviour. My research focuses on those individual factors that explain or accentuate (mediate and/or moderate) risk to those who live with early social adversity. To that end I use an interdisciplinary research strategy that combines observational, cognitive-experimental, neuroendocrinological, psychophysiological, and fMRI/MRI methods.
Teaching Summary
I teach Abnormal Psychology on the Level 2 (2nd year) Health in Society module for Medical students. I also teach on the Level 3 (3rd year) modules Forensic Psychology (PS3500) and Developmental Psychopathology in Childhood and Adolescence (PS3414).

Postgraduate Research Interests
My research interests are in factors affecting normal and abnormal development. To that end I study hormonal systems by focusing on hormones such as cortisol, DHEA/S, oestradiol, and testosterone; the psychophysiological response system via, among other measures, heart rate, vagal tone and skin conductance; the prefrontal cortex by studying abilities such as planning and inhibition; and by examining the ability to regulate emotions. I am interested in the involvement of these factors in normal and abnormal functioning, but especially in individual differences in the functioning of these systems under stress. So far, my studies have been conducted with pregnant women, infants, children and teenagers/young adults.
If you are interested in applying for a PhD, or for further information regarding my postgraduate research, please contact me directly (contact details available on the 'Overview' page), or submit a formal application here.
