Lecturer in Developmental Psychology

Research Overview

My first line of research focuses on the developmental roots of co-occurring mental health problems. Specifically, I have a keen interest in the genetic, environmental, and psycho-social processes leading to the co-occurrence of mental health and behavioural problems in children and adolescents. The second line of my research relates to the statistical models forming the basis of my research into developmental processes. In particular, I am eager to advance current methodology to more clearly test and operationalise developmental theories.
