Scholarly Interests:

Generally, I am interested in the intersection of psychology and the law. Using principles from social and cognitive psychology, I have two main lines of research: social eyewitness memory and deception detection.  Both are aimed at understanding the theoretical implications of psychological phenomena and also at addressing real-world problems. I have other interests, including jury-decision making (sexual harassment).
