He is especially interested in biological markers of early adversity.

He teaches lectures in developmental and clinical psychology, and in developmental psychopathology. He leads the optional third year undergraduate module “Childhood maltreatment and mental health”.

He is the programme lead for the Education Mental Health Practitioner Programme. He further co-leads the outreach project NeuroKids. The project educates young children about the brain through educational videos and school workshops.
