In 2010, I completed a PhD on the cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis with Prof Etzel Cardeña at Lund University in Sweden in 2010. My PhD research assessed whether typological models provide a valuable framework for understanding heterogeneity in high hypnotic suggestibility and used a variety of methods including latent variable modeling and EEG.

Subsequently, from 2010 to 2015, I was a Postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Experimental Psychology where I worked under the mentorship of Prof Roi Cohen Kadosh. My research during this period continued my interest in suggestion as well as individual differences in various features of awareness with a focus on time perception and used MRI, non-invasive brain stimulation, eye-tracking, and other methods.

In 2015, I joined the Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, where I am now a Reader (Associate Professor). The research in our lab uses a diverse array of methods drawn from cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, and psychopharmacology to study individual differences in time perception, different features of awareness, and responsiveness to suggestion. Details about our lab's research can be found here and information about my publications can be found here. Alongside my research, I am an Associate Editor for Consciousness and Cognition. If you are interested in joining our lab, please email me.

In addition to my research, I lead a short course on experimental hypnosis research at Goldsmiths that aims to provide a brief, but comprehensive, introduction to this fascinating research domain. Details about this course can be found here.
