Research interests

My research interests are personalised precision medicine approaches to mental health treatment to support improved patient care and outcomes. My research focuses on evaluating and predicting outcomes for psychological therapies using large datasets and the development of technology to support treatment delivery in routine care, such as psychotherapy progress feedback systems. I have a particular interest in the use of quantitative methods including meta-analysis, single case experimental design, network analysis and predictive modelling using machine learning.
