Biography

I studied for my BSc (Hons) in Psychology and carried out my Psychology PhD research at the University of Glasgow.  Subsequently, I took a research post in the Department of Psychology, Nottingham University to work on cognitive aspects of "Stress".  I then moved to a similar position in the School of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Nottingham, investigating operators' mental models of robot movement.  At the end of this research project, I took a temporary lecturereship on cognitive ergonomics (cognitive psychology applied to work situations) in the same school and I also held a part-time lectureship in human-computer interaction at de Montford University.  Before coming to Keele, I held a Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in the School of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering at Nottingham University on a research project I had co-authored  examining operators' mental models of advanced manufacturing processes.
