Welcome! I’m a psychologist and lifelong video game player researching how media use affects health—for example, effects like stress relief, displacement, and nostalgia. I develop creative methods to collect detailed behavioral data from platforms (e.g., Xbox, TikTok) and occasionally form non-financial partnerships with companies (e.g., Nintendo) to access their data.
A broader goal of my work is to make psychological research more trustworthy and causally-oriented as part of the science reform movement.
I’m a postdoc at the Oxford Internet Institute, having recently finished my PhD at Queen Mary University of London.
Please feel free to contact me about anything related to video games, mental health, disordered play, or similar topics—or perhaps if you just need a recommendation for your next game.
