Research interests

I graduated in 2006 with BSc (Hons) Psychology from the University of Glasgow and completed an MSc in Research Methods in Psychological Science. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof Stephany Biello and Prof Colin Espie in 2011. My research was funded by the ESRC.

My research interests lie in understanding the development, maintenance and contributors to poor sleep. My current research focuses the relationship between sleep quality and social media use in both adults and adolescents through the #sleepyteens project.

I teach and supervise at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels with a focus on sleep and the link between brain and behaviour.
