Biography

I received my PhD at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Following my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Thompson Rivers University, Canada, with Prof Heather Price. I joined the University of Aberdeen in 2022, where I am now a lecturer. ​

My primary research and teaching interests are in the area of Experimental Psychology & Law/Forensic Psychology. Some of my current projects include eyewitness memory and interviewing approaches.​

I am a Board Member and Chair of the Committee for Diversity and Inclusion of the Society for Applied Reserach in Memory and Cognition.

Research

Research Overview

  • What kind of memory-based decisions do people make in specific situations?
  • How well can people remember events after they have experienced several occurrences?
  • How to best approach interviewing if we want to obtain as complete and as accurate reports as possible?

In the Applied Memory and Cognition Lab we aim to address questions related to how people remember unique and repeated experiences and help define practices that can be used by investigators to effectively elicit information. To do so, we study the basic cognitive processes that impact memory-based decisions, situational factors that affect memory reports such as interviewing formats, social influences on memory such as cultural schemata or collaborative remembering, and applied implications associated with accurate and inaccurate memory.
