Research interests
I have experience of over 27 years as a Sleep Scientist. I completed my PhD at the University of Toronto in Canada and have a particular interest in biological rhythms and sleep. My current research programme is aimed at understanding how the clock organises the physiological and behavioural changes that occur on a daily basis, and the implications for health and well-being.
I have experience in Higher Education in the UK, and developing strategy in that context. I have acted as both Head, and Deputy Head of the School of Psychology at the University of Glasgow. I currently serve as Dean for Learning in the College of Science and Engineering. I have an interest in supporting young people in pursuing Science as a career and having an equal opportunity to do this. To this end I have continuously participated in numerous public information of Science events, and Chaired the development of the Accessible and Inclusive Learning Policy at the University of Glasgow.
