Biography

I received my first degree from University of Dundee (1992) before moving to the University of Bristol for research experience in the Department of Child Health. I completed my PhD at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol in 1998. Several years of post-doctoral experience followed at the University of Oxford (with Prof. D.
