Research interests

My research interests are various levels (cross-cultural, between-subject, within-subject) of systematic variation in men's mating strategies and mate preferences. Further, I am also interested in social neuroendocrinology, in particular, how do changes in testosterone and cortisol affect people's social perceptions and behaviors.

Biography

I completed a joint degree in Psychology and Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen in 2011 and finished an MSc in Research Methods of Psychological Science at the University of Glasgow in 2013. I completed my ESRC funded PhD in late 2016 under the supervision of Dr Lisa DeBruine and Prof Ben Jones, and until July 2017 worked as a post-doc at the University of Glasgow, on an ERC funded project (OCMATE) awarded to Ben Jones which investigated the effects of endogenous and exogenous hormones on women's behaviors, social judgments and appearance.
