Research 

My research utilizes several different techniques, including cognitive assessment, neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and VR, to understand the role of the brain in cognitive and behavioral impulse control. My research has specifically focused on the role of impulse control in sexual offending, particularly in pedophilia. I am currently expanding my research to include additional paraphilias and other criminal behaviors. My research contributes to our understanding of the neurobiology and neuropsychology of sexual offending and is used to inform treatment and prevention efforts.
