Biography

I started my postdoctoral research position within the School of Psychology at the University of Glasgow in January 2021. I transferred to the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit (SPHSU) in April 2023 where I now work within the Complexity Team.    

I am presently working on an ESRC funded project that aims to establish how the language used to describe food influences desire, with a particular focus on how language can be used to increase desire for plant-based foods. The results of this study will form the basis of subsequent research in this area and will also be used to develop a website where stakeholders in the food industry can access the most desire inducing words for various plant-based dishes. 

Qualifications

2011 - Honours Degree in Psychology - University of Stirling

2012 - Masters Degree in Health Psychology - University of Stirling

2020 - Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology - City, University of London

Research interests

I have strong interests in understanding how advertising influences product evaluation and choice, as well as the mechanisms that underlie the experience of desire. I am also interested in the effects of mindfulness on physical and mental health, including how meditation can improve physical and mental functioning.
