I am a Chartered Psychologist of the British Psychological Society (CPsychol), Member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS), and Chartered Scientist (CSci) of the Science Council. I am currently working in the School of Psychological Sciences at Birkbeck, University of London (United Kingdom) as a Reader in Behavioural Addiction where I teach addiction, individual differences, and statistics. For over ten years I have been researching emerging addictive behaviours such as gaming disorder, social media addiction, gambling disorder, and other online addictions.

I received my PhD from Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom and have published numerous peer-reviewed studies in several scientific journals (see my ResearchGate profile for a full list).

Recently, I was featured in the 2026 Stanford-Elsevier’s World’s Top 2% Scientists List. Previously awarded with the Durand Jacobs Award from McGill University (Canada) and the Early Career Research Award from the Australian Psychological Society (Australia) for its contributions to the psychology of addictive behaviors and cyberpsychology.
