Personal profile
Biography
I joined the University of St Andrews in 2022 as a Research Computing Technician within the School of Psychology and Neuroscience, supporting research and research-based teaching. Since then, I have begun a PhD, working with Prof Steve Reicher (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) and Dr Fergus Neville (Department of Management, St Andrews Business School).
Prior to arriving at St Andrews, I spent five years at the University of Dundee working as a Research Assistant across multiple labs. In that time, I also completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a MSc in Psychological Research Methods.
I am a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society.
Research overview
My research interests are inherently social: how we interact with our world and how that world affects us. More specifically, I am interested in group behaviour, leadership, and rhetoric. Alongside this, I have a keen interest in historical psychology and the history of psychology, as well as how we conduct research.
My PhD explores the relationships between performers and audiences at live music events.
