Biography

Kiran is a graduate (BA, PhD) of the Department of Applied Psychology, University College Cork, and the School of Psychology, University of Leicester (MSc Applied Forensic Psychology). Prior to taking up post at NUI Galway he worked with An Garda Síochána as a lecturer in forensic psychology and crime and policy analyst (2000-2004). Kiran joined the team at NUI, Galway in 2007, as a Lecturer in Psychology and Research Director on the D.Psych.Sc in Clinical Psychology training programme. At undergraduate level Kiran lectures in the areas of social, forensic, clinical and abnormal psychology and he is research active in each of these areas.

Research Interests

Area 1: Social Forensic Psychology. Kiran is the lead investigator on the Risky and Extreme Behaviour Research Group (REX-Group) at the School of Psychology. The group explores the basic psychological science that can inform risky and violent behaviour. In the applied area of risk mitigation, he is lead investigator on projects funded by the Road Safety Authority, Irish Water Safety and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. In the area of violence and aggression, he is a senior consultant for the European Commission's Radicalisation Awareness Network Centre of Excellence (RAN-CoE) and a member of the European Expert Network on Terrorism Issues (EENeT). He has collaborated with statutory bodies in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on issues relating to security and counter-terrorism. His research on counter-terrorism has been funded by the Irish Research Council and Enterprise Ireland. Kiran is interested in hearing from potential PhD candidates who may wish to pursue research in these areas (risk-taking and terrorism/support for terrorism) at doctoral level.

Area 2: Clinical and Clinical-Forensic Psychology. Through his role as Research Director on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Kiran is involved in research on a range of clinical and clinical forensic topics (see publication page for examples). Kiran is a member of the Mental Health Tribunals as administered by the Mental Health Commission (2007-2019).
