I am a lecturer within the School of Behavioural and Health Sciences at the Australian Catholic University (ACU), Brisbane, Australia.
Prior to joining ACU, I worked as a sport scientist specialising in applying the principles of skill acquisition to improve the performance and daily training environment of elite athletes at both the Australian Institute of Sport and the Queensland Academy of Sport.
My PhD thesis investigated intuition in elite field hockey athletes. Specifically looking at decision making, my research used pupillometry to show that intuitive decisions require less cognitive effort, reflected in less pupil dilation.
My academic interests and expertise include the measurement and improvement of decision-making skills with particular focus on the underlying mechanism that explain expert decisions. I also have a passion for and expertise in the use of new and emerging technologies such as sensors, eye tracking, virtual reality, and data analytics.
