Data Champions Search

I’m the Research Support Librarian for the Physical Sciences at the University of Cambridge where I oversee training and support for the research community across a range of disciplines. I’ve worked in research support for seven years and have recently published my first book - “The No-Nonsense Guide to Research Support and Scholarly Communication” (Facet Publishing).

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the University of Cambridge and a Research Psychologist registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. I sit on the Executive Committee of the Division for Research and Methodology of the Psychological Society of South Africa and I am the Assistant Editor for the Journal of Open Humanities Data. I am interested in understanding language and interaction from social, cognitive and psychological perspectives, as well as applying, developing and evaluating psychometric assessments.

I have a PhD in Biological Anthropology from the University of Cambridge and was a Post-doctoral Research Associate at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research from 2009–2017, specialising in human evolution and Palaeolithic archaeology.
