Biography
Steve joined KCL as staff member in Autumn 2017 after completing his PhD at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. His area of expertise is in atypical neurodevelopment such as autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He has used cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging methods, including the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in his previous project, and the electroencephalography (EEG) currently.

Research Groups
Steve is a member of the Regulating Emotions – Strengthening Adolescent Resilience (RE-STAR) team, under the lead of Professor Edmund Sonuga-Barke. The project aims to better understand the role of emotion regulation difficulties in the development of mental health problems in neurodiverse adolescents.
Steve was previously part of Professor Katya Rubia’s ADHD fMRI Neurofeedback Imaging Study (AFNIS) research team, which investigated the efficacy of fMRI neurofeedback for ADHD children using a double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled trial.
Research
Regulating Emotions – Strengthening Adolescent Resilience
RE-STAR is a four-year, interdisciplinary programme being led by Professor Edmund Sonuga-Barke of the Experimental Psychopathology and Neurodevelopment (ExPAND) Research Group at King’s College London.
My Emotions and Me
My Emotions and Me is one phase of a new research project, RE-STAR (Regulating Emotions - Strengthening Adolescent Resilience).
Project status: Ongoing
Experimental Psychopathology and Neuro-Development Group
ExPAND focuses on understanding neuro-developmental disorders and mental health conditions across the lifespan.
My Brain, Emotions and Me (BE ME!)
This is an information page for our study My Brain, Emotions and Me (BE ME!), the second phase of an MRC-funded research project, RE-STAR.
Project status: Ongoing
Steve contributes to systematic literature review teaching (7PCCLR00) in the department since 2017 and was a lead of the module. He was involved in designing of the online teaching materials for the topic that is widely used across the IoPPN and is accessible here. He previously taught research methods II: analysis and reporting 7PACCKNO in the department.
