I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate with a passion for understanding the associations between sleep, emotion regulation, and mental health. Specifically, I am interested in the cognitive mechanisms by which sleep supports emotion regulation and mental health. For example, how does sleep support the ability to implement adaptive emotion regulation strategies? And, how does a lack of sleep increase vulnerability to psychological disturbance? To explore these questions, I use a wide range of methods such as self-report questionnaires, psychophysiology (skin conductance and heart rate), virtual reality, and polysomnography as well as statistical analysis techniques such as linear mixed modelling.
