Welcome to  the Health, Education And Development (HEAD) research group!

Our team is interested in individual differences in health, education and cognitive development across the lifespan.
 

We focus on dissecting the causes and correlates of individual differences in mental health and academic achievement. We employ interdisciplinary research methods combining behavioural genetic and statistical genetic methods with psychometrics and innovative assessment techniques.
 

Through our collaborative research, we aim to increase our understanding of the diverse educational and health trajectories, ultimately contributing to interventions that support every child in reaching their maximum potential and enhancing their wellbeing.
