I received my Masters degree in psychology from the University of Canterbury in 2013.  My thesis title was “Sustained attention lapses and behavioural microsleeps during tracking, psychomotor vigilance, and dual tasks.” I was awarded a PhD in 2021 from the University of Otago.

My current research is focused on the treatment of moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and impact it will have on neurophysiology – particularly cerebral perfusion – and on cognition.
