I was a co-investigator on a project that examines adults' responses to standardising nicotine pouch packaging (funder: Research England) and a collaborator on a project that examines youth and adult responses to e-cigarette marketing and packaging (funder: Cancer Research UK).
I am a co-investigator on a CRUK project exploring patterns and perceptions of non-cigarette tobacco use and barriers and facilitators for cessation, in collaboration with colleagues at University College London.

I have led work finding that only a quarter of adults in Great Britain accurately perceived that cigarette filters do not reduce smoking harms.

I have been involved in several projects evaluating the impact of banning menthol in cigarettes. We found that banning menthol reduced the proportion of youth who smoke menthol cigarettes, but that regulatory loopholes exist (e.g., flavoured filters, flavour cards that are sold separately and are not covered by a menthol ban).
Survey Data Analyses
Analyse and publish survey data to help understand patterns and trends in tobacco and nicotine product use and perceptions, and the impact of policies (e.g., the menthol cigarette ban in England, age of sale, health warnings).
Surveys included the Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) Smokefree surveys, ITC surveys, and the Canadian Nicotine and Tobacco Survey (CTNS).
Market Scans
Led scans of the e-cigarette online retail market in Canada and the UK to help understand how the market responds to policies.

Led systematic reviews examining predictors of smoking and vaping behaviours and interventions to change vaping risk perceptions.
