Now
what I'm up to these days
What do I do right now?
I am currently on medical leave.
Prior to my leave, I was finishing my PhD at the University of Toronto. I am a PhD Candidate: all I have remaining is to write and defend my dissertation.
My PhD research focuses on meta-awareness and attention. See my about page for more on that.
I also study psychedelics. I published some of the first research on psychedelic microdosing. I co-founded the Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science and our team ran the first Canadian Clinical Trial on psilocybin microdosing. I also co-founded the Psychedelic Studies Research Program at the University of Toronto.
In December 2019, I did a podcast where I spoke about my personal history with research, including my research on meditation, which was the focus of my Master’s thesis.
