Senior lecturer in in Cognitive Psychology, Keele University
I joined Keele University in 2021 as a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Psychology, having worked previously at the University of Huddersfield for six years. I carried out my PhD work at University College London (UCL) and went on to become a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
My work explores the cognition of how people make a lie or truth judgment. This work has culminated in the Adaptive Lie Detector account (Street, 2015). My research has included working with national organisations to create evidence-based interventions to reduce susceptibility to phishing and smishing scams. I make use of a combination of behavioural, eye tracking and modelling techniques. This work has been recognised through funded projects and an APS Rising Stars award. I am the author of the textbook An Introduction to the Science of Deception and Lie Detection.
