He is a third year psychology student at the University of Ottawa, and will graduate (unless something goes terribly wrong) in April 2009. He currently plans to pursue graduate study in clinical neuropsychology.

His research interests are in brain and behaviour, as well as psychopathology. More specifically, his main interest is in depersonalization disorder (and its related symptoms), a fascinating condition largely over-looked in terms of research funding and interest.

He plan to open Canada’s first research and treatment unit dedicated solely to depersonalization (unless someone beats him to it) or join current international efforts.
