I am a researcher in psychology and psychiatric epidemiology, with a particular interest in understanding how early life shapes mental health and cognition across the lifespan. My research focuses on childhood adversity, digital technologies, and healthy cognitive ageing. I have a methodological interest in longitudinal analyses, data harmonisation, and improving how mental health is measured and compared across populations.
