I am a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Applied Psychology, and a member of both the Everyday Cognition Lab and the People and Technology Lab (PATLAB). A list of my publications can be found here: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=X-bXo-UAAAAJ&hl=en

My research interests are primarily focused on the psychology underpinning conspiracy beliefs, particularly with a focus on how best to teach and measure how people critically appraise conspiracy theories.

A central feature of my work is the use of mixed-methods approaches that move beyond dominant survey-based paradigms in the field, combining large-scale experimental studies with qualitative and participatory methods to better capture how people interpret and engage with belief measures. Through this approach, I have developed novel psychometric tools and game-based interventions, while also using in-depth qualitative work to examine the assumptions embedded within existing measures of conspiracy thinking. This work aims to provide a more nuanced and ecologically valid understanding of belief formation, with direct implications for both research and applied interventions.
