Research interests
I am a postdoctoral research associate working on the Fear Learning and Anxiety Response (FLARe) project. My interests are predominantly focused on how fear conditioning experiments can be used to model anxiety and its treatment. I am also interested in the ways that mobile technology can be used to improve research, helping to either reach more participants or capture more ecologically valid data.
Research
The Emotional Development, Interventions and Treatment (EDIT) Lab
The EDIT lab is led by Prof Thalia Eley and consists of post doctoral researchers, PhD students, and both undergraduate and masters students. We study genetic and environmental influences on the development and treatment of anxiety and depression. We are based at the SGDP Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London.
FLARe: Fear Learning and Anxiety Response
FLARe aims to model the processes underlying the development, maintenance and treatment of anxiety disorders, and post-treatment relapse.
Project status: Ongoing
