Personal statement

I'm a Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, a Chartered Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society.

My research activities are primarily focused on the offenders’ characteristics and crime scene behaviours and on the narratives of both crime experiences (e.g. crime descriptions) and neutral nature (e.g. life narratives or neutral event stories).

My PhD thesis evaluated the new narrative interpretation methodology (“Life as a Film”, LAAF) and explored the implicit content and the structure of offenders’ “Life as a Film” stories. I'm also interested in research on manipulation and propaganda, radicalisation and deradicalisation processes.

In parallel with my work in the University, I'm an Assistant Editor in the Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling.
