Overview

My research interests are in the effects of drugs on behaviour, cognition, and the brain. I have a particular passion for psychostimulant research, specifically medically prescribed pharmaceuticals (e.g., modafinil and methylphenidate) and their nonmedical use in healthy people. I also have experience with neuroimaging techniques, in specific functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), which I have used to measure differences in cognitive performance and cerebral activation between pharmaceutical stimulant users and nonusers.
