I am a Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the Clinical, Educational, and Health Psychology Research Department, Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, University College London. Together with Professor Eamon McCrory, I co-direct the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit at University College London. Our research focuses on investigating different developmental pathways to persistent antisocial behaviour, as well as the neurocognitive consequences of childhood maltreatment. We collaborate with researchers within and outside the university, including colleagues at the Yale Child Study Center, where we both hold adjunct appointments.
I am a Fellow of the British Academy and my research has been recognised by a number of awards, including the Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Award, the British Academy Wiley-Blackwell Prize in Psychology, and the Society for Scientific Study of Psychopathy Early Career Award. I am the current President of the Society for Scientific Study of Psychopathy.
