About

I conducted my PhD in physiological psychology at UCL and then worked as a researcher at UCL on a project funded by the Medical Research Council. I then moved to the US National Institute on Drug Abuse for 5 years before returning to the UK as a Lecturer (subsequently Reader) at the University of Birmingham.

I have published over 60 papers in peer-reviewed journals, contributed to edited works and textbooks, made over 100 conference presentations, organized and chaired several international symposia, and served as PI on grants from the ESRC, ARUK, ERAB, the Department of Transport and others.

I have also served as a member of the ESRC peer-review college and a panel member of Belgian FNRS. I am currently an Assistant Editor of the journal "Addiction" and an Associate Editor of the journal "Substance Use and Misuse". I served as Associate Dean (Research and Enterprise) for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (2017-18) and as Head of Research and Head of the Graduate Research School (2018-21).
