Welcome to the Psychopharmacology Laboratory at the University of Sydney.

My role is director of the laboratory and I am also involved in teaching various courses. I completed my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and gained my PhD in Psychology at the University of Sydney.

I have broad research interests in the areas of neuroscience and psychopharmacology. I am particularly interested in assessing the long term effects of addictive drugs and alcohol on behaviour and brain function. I am also interested in the development of animal models of anxiety disorders and depression and in the pharmacological treatment of these disorders.

When I am not busy being a neuroscientist and psychopharmacologist I enjoy playing music, bushwalking and mountain biking.
