Study Psychology

Senior Lecturer

"I’m a Teaching Specialist and the Course Coordinator for Undergraduate Psychology. My interests are in various areas of student success and focus on how we can successfully transition students into, across and beyond university. My research focuses on learning analytics, designing curricula to support psychology students’ competencies and skills to be job-ready graduates, and effective ways to support neurodiverse students."

Mental Health and Wellbeing (Workplace and Communities)

"Everybody deserves to feel safe and empowered at work – as an occupational health psychology specialist, my research aims to optimise work systems in order to enhance employee wellbeing, and prevent stress, bullying, and harassment. I love working with passionate students who want to bring meaningful change to their communities and workplaces through research and/or practice."

Teaching Specialist

"Teacher-clinician, passionate about improving psychological literacy and training effective practitioners."

Professor

"Our world is full of social influences. I am passionate about providing students with the tools they need to critically understand the world and how events “out there” shape our thoughts, feelings and behaviours."

Associate Professor

" I want to help our post-graduate students to develop as confident and well-rounded scientist-practitioners who are ready and excited to make a positive impact on the world."

Teaching Program Director

"As a social psychologist, I research justice, emotion and motivation, and support people (and people in relationships and organisations) to work through failure, mistakes, and transgressions. I am passionate about putting the pieces together for my students to succeed (in uni and beyond) and generally a slightly obsessive human problem solver."

Associate Professor

"As the Program Director of our postgraduate professional degrees, I’m passionate about training the next generation of clinicians (and future colleagues!) and ensuring they are highly effective, culturally responsive, evidence-based practitioners. My research and clinical passion is psycho-oncology – the scientific exploration of the psychological impact and treatment of cancer."

Professor

"I do “clinical cognition” research on memory for traumatic experiences and its implications for legal and clinical issues such as the reliability of testimony and psychological well-being. I am passionate about undergraduate and postgraduate mentorship and research training, encouraging my students to pose novel and interesting research questions, and helping them develop the tools to answer those questions."

Professor

"I am passionate about social psychology and, in my teaching, like to share that passion, specifically in relation to how people are driven by their views of what is just, fair and moral in negotiating their individual and group identities, repairing or maintaining relationships, and advancing society."

Lecturer

"My research and teaching focus is on the development of psychopathology, particularly externalising psychopathology, in young people."

Senior Lecturer (Cognitive Psychology)

"I’m a cognitive neuroscientist studying social interactions between humans – across the full range of human neurodiversity – and with artificial agents. I want to know how we can improve social communication and use technologies (e.g., VR and social robotics) to make our lives better. I love showcasing emerging research in my teaching and building collaborative relationships with students so that we can learn together."

Professor

"Improving treatments for posttraumatic stress and increasing access to evidence-based therapies for those who have experienced trauma."

Professor

"I love that I can share my experience in the clinical and forensic setting with my students in the hope that they will have a better appreciation of autistic people and the difficulties they may experience in the criminal judicial system."

Associate Professor

"I’m passionate about clinical psychology research (e.g., how to use technology and digital platforms to deliver psychological interventions in innovative and more accessible ways). I also enjoy teaching clinical psychology topics, assisting future clinical psychologists in the skills and competencies required for conducting high-quality, evidence-based psychological interventions."

Senior Lecturer

"The human brain is fascinating – there is still so much to discover about how our brains work, and what happens when these neurobiological processes are disrupted by injury or disease."

Lecturer (Teaching Specialist - Clinical)

"I am passionate about the scientist-practitioner model and so teach students how to incorporate science into practice, and practice in line with science."
