I am a Reader in Cognitive Psychology and Associate Director of the Centre for Cognition and Neuroscience. My PhD (Cognitive processes in lie detection) was obtained at University College London, and my post-doc fellowship was carried out at University of British Columbia, Vancouver.

My research is centred around decision making, trust and deception detection. I am the author of ALIED theory and have actively explored unconscious lie detection. I use a mixture of behavioural experiments, computational modeling, and eye tracking to carry out this work.

I have been fortunate enough to have collaborated with North Yorkshire Police, Bob's Business, Bradford Safeguarding Children Board, and others.

Projects have included

• An evidence-based psychological intervention to improve cyber security behaviour
• A computational model of engagement with SMS scams

I have also been the fortunate recipient of the APS Rising Stars award.

I am a keen advocate of working and communicating with the public.

I am happy to supervise projects that fall within my area of expertise. I am particularly interested in supervising projects that develop a theoretical understanding of how people make lie-truth judgments, but I will consider supervising in other areas too.
