Research interests

Why do we do what we do? How do we make decisions, create habits, change our behaviour? I am increasingly interested in the application of neuroscience techniques such as EEG and MEG to explore design and consumer interaction. Experimental psychology research in the areas of consumer addiction and also in the study of neuroaesthetics.

Compulsive Behaviour – retail and buying tendencies focusing on behavioural design, habits, addictions, and decision-making in real-life situations.

Neuroaesthetics – perspective of creator and viewer perceptions processes and links between the study of innovation and creativity.

My research has enabled me to contribute to three chapters of the forthcoming academic textbook Fashion and Luxury Marketing by Prof. Michael Solomon (2022).

Research outputs have focused on pedagogical issues relating to the merging of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. In my BMAF funded study Beyond the Boundaries of the Business School, I conducted research with the D-School - Stanford University, Design London - Imperial College London, Queens University and CHEAD in order to investigate marketing pedagogy as conducted outside a business faculty.
