Research Interests

After a BSc in Psychology at the University of Leeds I completed my PhD at McMaster University in Canada under the supervision of Martin Daly and Margo Wilson. Following periods of postdoctoral work in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Liverpool and the University of East Anglia working with Matt Gage, I worked briefly at the University of Stirling with Ian Penton-Voak before joining the Department of Psychology at Brunel in 2004.

My current research focuses on the psychological and physiological responses of males to various forms of competition, and the effects of socioeconomic inequality - e.g. competitiveness, risk-sensitivity, impulsiveness and violence with a specific focus on how males respond to inequitable distribution of resources. Using epidemiological, survey and laboratory methods.
