Biography

Laura has a degree in Biology and a MSc in Neuropsychology from the University of Toulouse, France. She completed her PhD in Psychology, Education and Neuroscience from the University of Cambridge in 2014. She then worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the Cambridge Prosociality and Well-Being Lab where she looked at the relationship between emotions and well-being. Laura started her lectureship at Bournemouth University in October 2016, where she is working on understanding the role of emotions in mental illness (including eating disorders and gambling addiction) and well-being. She regularly talks to the radio to disseminate her work and is currently working on a series about emotions and mental health with BBC Solent. One of her research projects funded by the British Academy/Leverhulme uses EEG to investigate the neural basis of emotion processing and regulation in eating disorders. She has also received funding to develop an intervention to help people better understand and manage their emotions... Finally, she also has a stream of research looking at the link between autism and eating disorders. She is currently looking for PhD students to supervise in these areas.
