My background is in experimental Cognitive Psychology across the lifespan and in particular in ageing. My interest is on studying cognition outside the lab, how being in different environments, and being more or less active influence our cognition, perception and wellbeing. More recently I developed an interest in Sensory Processing Sensitivity, showing that the level of sensory processing sensitivity determines one's level of nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviour. I am in the steering committee of UCC Futures - Future Ageing and Brain Sciences. Dedicated to the applied impact of my research, I work with senior citizens to promote healthy ageing though exercise and self-empowerment. I collaborate regularly with Cork-Healthy Cities on topics related to ageing well. I collaborate with Green Campus on topics related to the role of nature contact in students' well-being. I am co-lead of the ISS21 Ageing Cluster, member of the Environmental Research Institute. At the School of Applied Psychology, I coordinate 3rd year in the BA in Applied Psychology CK120. I am adjunct assistant professor at Trinity College Dublin and long standing collaborator of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing. I am associate editor of Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Psychology, member of the Editorial Board of International Review of Sport and Exercise, and Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. My research is funded by Science Foundation Ireland, the Health Research Board, Irish Research Council, Horizon Europe.
