Academic biography

Current research interests

At present, I am interested in quality-of-life, well-being, and community/civic participation, and particularly how these may change across the lifespan or how they interact with ageing, cognitive impairment, disability, or exposure to precarity. Some of the most interesting issues draw upon enabling human rights, deinstitutionalisation, and democratization of health & social care. 

I maintain an interest in the psychology and neuropsychology of amputation/limb loss.

I also have a keen interest in researchers' well-being, precarious employment, and participation. 

Background

PhD: neuropsychology, amputation/limb loss, and prosthetic/psychosocial rehab outcomes. Also, QOL, de-congregation, evidence synthesis, health psychology, technologies for smart & healthy ageing, older adult populations. Methods: typically observational/cohort with quantitative analysis and systematic review/evidence synthesis.
