    Biography

    Biography

    I completed my BSc (1 st class hons) in Psychology at the University of Lincoln. I was awarded a studentship co-funded by the University of Lincoln and Lincoln County Hospital to study for my PhD. My thesis title was “Development and assessment of optotypes in testing human vision”. Following this I worked as a research assistant on a short-term pilot project at the University of Lincoln. This used eyetracking methods to look at visual search strategies of expert fingerprint officers in comparison to trained novices. I was then awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship on the INSTINCT project which was a collaboration between the School of Psychology and the School of Computer Science, again at the University of Lincoln. The INSTINCT project was funded by the Home Office and looked at the detection of deception and malintent. I have been a tutor/associate lecturer for the Open University teaching on levels 2 and 3 of the Psychology degree. I joined the Behavioural and Social Science (BSS) team at Keele Medical School as a lecturer and I am currently co-lead for year 2.
