Profile Summary

Over the course of my academic research career, I have been engaged in a variety of academic (professorial) and experimental laboratory environments concerned with the study of human (adults, children and young infants, in both clinical & pre-clinical educational settings), and non-human primates (incl. thinking and brain development, reproduction, sexual and social behaviour at the cognitive, behavioural, neurophysiological and neuroendocrinological levels). Other academic activities currently include my editorial and reviewership service to several international journals and professional organisations, provision of visiting guest lectures, whilst also serving as external examiner for both the undergraduate and postgraduate corpus of several universities across Asia, the UK, and USA.
     I have been engaged with commercial educational and psychometric assessment activities as Senior Practice Consultant and Academic Research Director in the fields of applied psychological therapy, educational program/task design, trainer/instructor training, and psychometric assessment. All concurrent research projects currently under my direct supervision have, over the years, been aimed towards the further characterisation and development of intelligent systems (both real and artificial), by design, and have included the production, implementation, and assessment of comparative psychology, including both human and non-human primate intellectual and cognitive development, robotics and psycho-cybernetics, educational enhancement programs for human infants, young children, adults, and independent clients wishing to develop and enhance their cognitive abilities, intelligence and/or socio-emotional skills.

Corporate activities, business development consultancy, and training programs of my own design have been employed by several leading multi-national organisations (both private commercial/industrial and government-sponsored), and am frequently approached by those establishments in their seeking my assistance with the making of senior HR appointments, promotion assessment, senior management training, production efficiency management, and operational reorganization (including their streamlining, risk management buy outs, takeovers, mergers and acquisitions). I am also frequently invited to review and publish current business development, management and executive training books
