I have a broad range of research interest that encompass the fields of clinical and experimental psychopathology which seeks to understand the processes that contribute to emotional vulnerability and resilience, and uses these findings to advance psychological wellbeing. I am often drawn to research that offers unique theoretical insights into established constructs (cognitive, emotional, or neurological), or highlights translational pathways from experimental principle to applied benefit. As such my research interests include (but are not limited to) some of the following:
Understanding the patterns of cognition that underlie emotional vulnerability, and how these processes can be targeted for change with cognitive training.
Enhancing cognitive training using neurostimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation in particular)
Understanding the factors that contribute to individual differences in emotional vulnerability and resilience to prolonged stress.
Understanding how and why individuals respond differently to therapeutic interventions for emotional problems.
Identifying the patterns of cognition that contribute to the development and maintenance of insomnia
