I am a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bristol's Population Health Sciences school. I completed my PhD in Social, Genetic, and Developmental Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London. My research explores the mechanisms linking cities to psychosis, and I am interested in child and adolescent mental health and social and genetic epidemiology.
