• PhD Cognitive Neuroscience (1999 - 2003): University of Manchester
  Supervisors: Dr Rebecca Elliott and Professor JFW Deakin

Career History

• May 2005 - present: I am currently an RCUK Academic Research Fellow with the Neuroimaging Research Group, Aston University. My research interests include neuroimaging studies of reward processing and cognition and motivation interactions, using both fMRI and MEG. I also have a specific interest in how self-criticism is processed at the neural level in both healthy adults and depressed patients.
  
  
• 2003 - 2005: University of Cambridge: Post-Doctoral Research Associate
  I worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain, University of Cambridge. Projects included fMRI investigations of grammar processing and lesion-behaviour correlations for semantic processing.
