Personal profile
Biography
I have an MA (Hons) in Psychology, an MSc in Human Cognitive Neuropsychology, and a PhD in Psychology, all from the University of Edinburgh. While completing my PhD, I worked as a psychometric testing officer at the Centre for Cognitive Ageing and Cognitive Epidemiology (University of Edinburgh) and a research assistant for the Dementias Platform UK. After completing my PhD in 2019, I worked as the Questionnaire Officer and a Postdoctoral Researcher on the Generation Scotland study, a large family-health study. I then worked as a lecturer in the Division of Psychology, School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law at the University of Dundee between 2022 and 2024. As of 2024, I am now primarily based at the University of Edinburgh, were I work as a Psychology lecturer. I remain affiliated with the University of Dundee as an Honorary Research Fellow based in the Chronic Pain Research Group, School of Medicine.
Research
My research focuses on association between cognitive ageing and health. I investigate health factors that might partly explain why some people’s cognitive function declines faster than others, as well as exploring the impact of faster cognitive decline on managing health in older adulthood. I have a particular interest in investigating the relationship between chronic pain, pain prescribing, and cognitive ageing.
