I am Head of Psychological Research at the National Institute of Teaching (NIoT), and Visiting Associate Professor at Aston University.

I am also:

A National Teaching Fellow, in recognition of my teaching and leadership in higher education.
Executive Editor of Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Research in Memory & Cognition (JARMAC).
An advisory board member of the Commission into Countering Online Conspiracies in Schools.

My research background is in educational and legal psychology, with a particular focus on human memory, cognition, and social influence. For example, my work has focused on themes such as:

"feedback literacy": how we nurture people's (e.g. students' and teachers') skill as receivers of feedback
how people react to feedback on their skills, performance, and memories
how we can help people to remember more effectively
factors that shape or distort what we remember/believe

My work has been made possible thanks to various funders including the Pears Foundation, Economic & Social Research Council, Assessments & Qualifications Alliance (AQA), Leverhulme Trust, Wellcome Trust, European Commission FP7, Higher Education Academy, and British Academy.
