Research

Having previously completed a BSc (Hons) in Forensic Psychology, Gareth is currently exploring PhD Research with the University of Surrey. While preparing the premise for book 3, Gareth is investigating how to ‘Gauge Atmospherics’ in our environment, life-threatening situations, and the link between Rapid Decision-making under pressure and the application of effectiveness in Corporate Environments.

Through the usage and lens of Augmented Reality (AR), he plans to simulate hostile situations in controlled settings to see if we can elicit such phenomena within corporate environments, to facilitate better decision-making practices and thus contribute to corporate innovation.
