Current Students
Undergraduate and graduate students are important team members in my research activities. In addition to running their own research projects (usually related to a thesis or dissertation), students in the lab are working with each other and on my research projects. They are helping with administration procedures, participant recruitment, data collection, scoring and data cleaning, and data entry. Although most of my students hope to eventually have a clinical position, all are actively engaged in the research process.

Potential Students
I like to surround myself with people who ask "big questions" and are prepared to work hard to find the answers. I also value people who get along well with others and have a good sense of humour. My primary interest is in mentoring students who are invested in the process of scientific inquiry.
We have completed admissions for the 2023-24 academic year. I intend to take no more than one student per year. If you are interested in working with me, please send me an email that includes a statement of your research interests and your CV. Our admissions are by area (clinical neuropsychology), and I select students for my lab group based on their research interests and their fit with other students currently in my lab. I typically only consider students with evidence of research productivity (namely presentations at conferences and publications) who also have significant experiences with clinical populations (particularly those impulse control disorders or substantial psychological distress).
I typically supervise one or two honours theses each year. Most of the time, these individuals have been a research volunteer in my lab for at least one year and have made a meaningful contribution to the work of my lab group prior to their honours thesis project.
I take a limited number of undergraduate students each year as research volunteers. Spaces available are determined by how many students I have at that time as well as the student's experiences and academic record. All volunteers are required to attend all weekly lab meetings (Thursdays 11:30 - 1:00) and to contribute to the work of my lab group. Research volunteers assist honours thesis students and graduate students with their projects, as well as scoring protocols and entering data. I accept students from both the Psychology Department and the Behaviour, Cognition, and Neuroscience Program.
