Areas of expertise I am a Research Fellow working within the suicide and self-harm (SASH) research group.

My research interests focus on the epidemiology and course of self-harm and suicidal behaviours.

I am particularly interested in understanding the factors that predict not only who will develop suicidal thoughts, but which individuals will go on to act on these thoughts (i.e. make a suicide attempt or die by suicide).
