Biography
Sussex University: Psychology Home Page
I did my degree in Pharmacology at the University of Bristol, and stayed on in the department to do my Ph.D. with Prof. Hilary Little, looking at the role of NMDA receptors and voltage-sensitive calcium channels in alcohol withdrawal. After a brief spell working with Prof. David Nutt at the Psychopharmacology unit in Bristol, I moved to the University of Texas for two years, where I worked with Prof. Rueben Gonzales looking at dopamine release following alcohol treatment. I returned to the UK in 1995, to the first of two postdoctoral positions that I have had with Prof. Dai Stephens in Experimental Psychology at the University of Sussex. In 2003, I accepted a lectureship in the newly formed Psychology Department at Sussex.
