Summary
I am a behaviourist and specialist in feeding disorders (now called avoidant/restrictive eating disorders). This is an eating disorder that typically manifests before the age of 5 year old. I am also interested in the concept of developmental differences and responsiveness to social priming, or in real world speak – how food advertisements work. You may also find me writing on the topics of appetite regulation and overlap between gastroenterology and psychology.
I would very much like to hear from anyone that shares my interests in either research or Life Sciences. Specifically, I would like to hear from any Companies, Further Education and Secondary Schools with an interest in Biology, Environmental, Psychology, Sport, Health & Exercise Sciences. Should you wish to book an appointment my diary is managed by Tina Barker at tina.barker@brunel.ac.uk.
