Research Interests

My research interests include developmental psychology, ASD, ADHD, and in particular the effects of modern technology on cognitive and psychosocial development. Having a legal background, I’m motivated by translating research findings into actionable policy and regulation. I’m currently supporting the SENSOR Project at Birkbeck’s ToddlerLab.
