Senior Lecturer

Research Areas: Neurobiological mechanisms underlying anxiety disorders (PTSD, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, GAD) and Depression; neural mechanisms underlying cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety and depression; neural mechanisms associated with emotion regulation (memory suppression/reappraisal). Research methods include functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, genetics, neuropsychology, EEG and autonomic data.

Academic Career:
