  • Biography/ Background

    I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology and Program Director of the Graduate Diploma in Psychology.

    I was born and educated in the UK. I relocated to 最新糖心Vlog in 2017.

    I primarily study human memory accuracy. For example, I have led projects examining how accurately groups of people recall shared experiences together, how accurately eyewitnesses recall crimes, and how accurately jurors recall trial evidence. Importantly, I am also interested in knowing how human memory accuracy can be improved.

    I specialise in teaching people about memory, research methods, statistics, and the history of psychology. I have lectured to a range of different audiences including undergraduate students, academics, medical professionals, and senior police officers.
