My current research mostly focuses on understanding human cognition through mathematical models, which can be classed as a combination of the broad research areas of cognitive psychology, computational modelling, and psychological methods. More specifically, my theoretical and empirical research largely falls within the area of human decision-making, and involves the development and testing of models that are able to explain response time and choice (as well as additional pieces of information, such as changes of mind), such as extensions of the well-known and commonly used evidence accumulation framework. My more methodological research largely involves the development and implementation of Bayesian methods for estimating and comparing cognitive models, as well as methods for estimating and comparing models with computationally intractable likelihood functions. More information about my work can be found on this website (see my research and publications), my CV, and my Google Scholar page. If you're interested in my work and keen to chat about research, then please feel free to contact me!

Also, in exciting news (well, exciting to me, at least), in late August 2024 I'll be moving to the University of Liverpool as a Senior Lecturer!
