Interdisciplinary research into mental health
I am a research assistant at the Neuroscience Ethics and Society Group, working on the BRC Flourishing and Wellbeing Theme.
My work aim to understand better how we can help people and nature flourish, also known as ecological collective flourishing (e-co flourish). I work to study the underlying mechanisms of this as well as how we can apply it in our "living laboratories'.
I completed my undergraduate research in psychology at Cardiff University followed by a Master's degree in Neuroscience at Oxford University. Previously, I worked at the Oxford Precision Psychiatry Lab, working on the Wellcome funded GALENOS project conducting living systematic reviews into mental health. I also worked for the Crockett Lab, then at Yale University working on moral decision making. I have also interned at the Heart, Brain and aging group and the Physiological Neuroimaging Group during my Master's degree.
Alongside my interest in mental health, I have a strong interest in philosophy and moral decision-making. I enjoy applying interdisciplinary approaches to ask not just what works in mental health, but what are the underlying assumptions and concepts this builds on, and the ethics behind these.
If you have any questions about my current research or past groups I have been involved with please get in contact.
