Biography
I currently work at the University of Liverpool as a Fellow and my research involves designing and testing population-level interventions that address health inequalities in diet and nutrition.
My part-time work with Cardiff University focuses on the promotion, evaluation and implementation of open science practices and related initiatives, such as the Transparency and Promotion Openness (TOP) guidelines and Registered Reports (RRs).
My doctoral work focused on response inhibition training for dietary behaviour change, including paradigm development, proof-of-concept experiments and online studies. Research studies further assess the validity of implicit cognition measures, such as the affective priming paradigm.

Experience
Featured Publications
In this Registered Report, we assessed the utility of the affective priming paradigm (APP) as an indirect measure of food attitudes and related choice behaviour in two separate cohorts. This study demonstrates the robustness of the APP as an indirect measure of food liking and raises questions about its applied value for research of eating behaviours.
