I am a scientist trained in clinical and cognitive psychology. I research how poverty and inequality affect our minds and behaviours. I currently hold an independent research fellowship (JRF) at Christ Church College, University of Oxford. My research includes both theoretical and empirical streams, including questions like:
- Which anti-poverty and developmental interventions are most promising?
- Which aspects of poverty and inequality are most detrimental to mental health?
- How can stigma associated with poverty and mental ill health be effectively addressed?
- How should we best measure poverty and mental health?
- How can communities and researchers best work together through participatory and mutuality practices?
I have a keen interest in new quantitative methods and often combine statistical methods from a range of disciplines, such as social epidemiology, behavioral genetics, and economics with diverse cross-sectional and longitudinal datasets. Ultimately, I hope my research will help inform effective interventions and policies in the context of poverty alleviation and global mental health.
I’m also interested in meta-science and neurodiversity. I enjoy collaborative work and would love to hear from you if we might have common interests.
