I teach research methods, statistics, psychology of language and psychology of AI at the University of Hull, and supervise undergraduate dissertations and postgraduate research.
Research Skills 2
I lead this first-year module in quantitative research methods and statistics. Students design and conduct a cued-recall experiment, obtain ethical approval, analyse their data and write an individual research report.
Psychology of AI
I co-teach this final-year module. My teaching covers large language models and human cognition; AI agents, autonomy, trust and responsibility; philosophy of mind; and the societal implications of AI. Workshops give students direct experience of language models and agentic systems.
The Psychology of Language
I lead the word-processing block of this final-year module. Topics include lexical access, word recognition, word learning, bilingual word recognition and complementary learning systems. A computer-laboratory workshop uses word-recognition data to teach regression analysis and the interpretation of reaction-time predictors.
Research projects
I supervise undergraduate dissertations in cognition, language, learning, memory, research methods and AI. Current postgraduate projects are described on the Research students page.
The Research Assistantship Scheme gives students, primarily in their second year, the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by assisting with ongoing research projects in the School of Psychology and Social Work. Read the scheme overview and FAQ for details of eligibility, the time commitment and how to take part.
