Biography

As a Gates Scholar, I received my MPhil in Criminological Research in 2011 from the University of Cambridge. In 2015, I received my Ph.D. in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania.

I am currently an assistant professor in the School of Criminology and Justice Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. My research examines biological risk factors for antisocial behavior, aggression, and psychopathy. My primary focus is on psychophysiological, nutritional, and hormonal risk factors for antisocial behavior.

While most criminological research is either social or biological, my work contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the development of delinquency that takes into account factors across multiple levels of measurement. This research will help practitioners to develop more effective crime prevention strategies that address multiple risk domains.
