Biography

I am a research fellow in Methodological Research, currently working on Greener Trials project to identify how to make clinical trials more environmentally sustainable through behavioural science. My background lies in psychology, where I have completed my PhD in Applied Health Sciences at 51cg with Aberdeen Health Psychology Group, where I focused on improving the reporting of treatment-as-usual control groups in behavioural trials. Previous to working at 51cg, I have worked at Public Health Scotland as a researcher on a variety of public health projects. My interests range from applying behavioural change methods to clinical trials, improving the reporting of clinical trials, as well as translating research into policy.
