I received my master’s and PhD in Psychology from Queen’s University in 1997. Prior to joining Wilfrid Laurier University, I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Sydney, Australia until 1999, and then served as a faculty member in the School of Psychology at the University of New England, Australia. I joined the Department of Psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2006. From 2018 to 2021, I served as Associate Dean: Student Services in the Faculty of Science. I currently serve as Chair of the Department of Psychology.
I am a behavioural neuroscientist who studies the behavioural and neural effects of drugs, with a special emphasis on drugs of abuse.
My research is focused on the brain’s endocannabinoid system. Using behavioural, pharmacological, and immunohistochemical techniques, I examine how cannabinoid receptors are involved in normal behaviour (e.g., learning, memory, feeding, locomotion), pathological behaviour (e.g., addiction). I also study the manner in which cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid drugs interact to alter behaviour and brain activity.
Note that I am not able to respond to elementary or high school students asking for information or an "expert opinion" related to their school assignments or projects.
