Research Summary

Research Interests

My research interests primarily surround gaining understanding of the sleep and circadian indicators of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in subclinical and high-risk populations.

My doctoral thesis, under the supervision of Dr. Katharina Wulff, explores the roles of subjective perception and objective markers of sleep (and how these can interact) in the formation of psychiatric symptomatology, with a focus on PLEs. Alongside this research, I have also worked in the Oxford Early Invention Service as an Honorary Assistant Psychologist with Dr. Louise Johns, specialising in sleep related complaints in psychosis. 

I have recently submitted my thesis and am currently working as a post-doctoral fellow within the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute. My current research involves directly translating the core findings of my thesis to clinical populations.

Additionally, I was recently awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to visit the University of Pennsylvania later this year under the supervision of Prof. Phil Gehrman.
