Research interests

My research is focused on using multidisciplinary cognitive, neurophysiological (EEG and skin conductance) and quantitative genetic (family studies) techniques, to gain insight into underlying processes associated with ADHD persisting into adulthood. A large focus of my PhD has involved collecting and analysing EEG data from preterm-born teenagers and their siblings on our detailed cognitive-electrophysiological test battery, and by directly comparing these data to data already collected from people with ADHD and control sibling pairs, we can investigate and identify processes linked to the increased risk for ADHD among people born preterm, which in future could be targeted for intervention.
