I am a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Emerging Research Fellow at the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health and School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University. My primary focus is developing better models of addiction and mental health conditions to improve diagnosis and treatment and advance studies of biology-behaviour relationships. I specialise in using statistical approaches, such as structural equation modelling, to integrate across multiple levels of measurement, including signs and symptoms, molecular genetics, cognition, and neuroimaging. My vision is to continue to strengthen cross-disciplinary and collaborative partnerships between myself, teams and researchers within the Turner Institute and from international consortia to produce high-impact research outputs and help position the Turner Institute at the forefront of breakthrough science in psychiatric nosology, psychiatric genetics, and psychiatric neuroimaging. In particular, I have developed, and am currently coordinating, two flagship projects on adult psychopathology in collaboration with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) consortium, which represents the leading alternative to current psychiatric diagnostic classification systems, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fifth Edition.
