Professor (Department of Psychology and Division of Mental Health & Wellbeing (WMS))

Interests:

Developmental pathways leading to developmental psychopathology, social and emotional development, biological at risk children (very preterm children), school and sibling bullying, infant regulatory problems (crying, feeding, sleeping) and parenting.

I am PI/Co-PI in a number of studies including EPICure, RECAP preterm, Bayerische Entwicklungsstudie and I am a member of the Centre for Early Life.

I currently have a full quota of PhDs and subsequently can't offer supervision for new PhDs. Please look to other academics who work in the Lifespan Health and Wellbing research group for potential supervisors.
