I study the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms of adaptive behaviour, including how they develop, and what role they play in psychopathology.

I use human brain and body imaging (functional and structural MRI and MRS), psychophysiology, cross-species methods, behavioural analysis, and mathematical modelling.

In recent work I employ complexity science and idiographic approaches to understand change across various timescales.

With collaborators from multiple disciplines and societal sectors we take a molecules-to-mind approach to human cognition and behaviour.

We value open research practices, slow science, and personal development.
