Research Interests

Cognitive Psychology, Psychology-Law, Memory, Eyewitness Testimony, Eyewitness Identification

I study human memory errors and their impact on the psychology of law. In particular, I am interested in how witnesses remember (and sometimes misremember) details from a crime scene and factors that lead to eyewitness misidentification. I am the manager of the Innocence Project New Zealand, a joint project with University of Otago. At the Innocence Project, we investigate possible miscarriages of justice in the New Zealand. If you are interested in lodging a case with the Innocence Project or helping us investigate cases, please email address
