MsMegan Pisegna

Hi, I'm Megan, a Research Fellow and Associate Teaching Fellow in the School of Psychology. I am a member of the Centre for Drug Use, Alcohol and Addictive Behaviour Research (CEDAAR), the Cognitive Neuroscience Unit (CNU) and the CONNECT Research and Training Initiative. 

My research spans across multiple domains, including aggression, addiction, health psychology, implementation science and codesign. I have experience in applying the Theoretical Domains and Trauma-Informed Frameworks, behaviour change techniques, and codesign principles. As part of my PhD, I have developed and validated two new psychological measures and have had the opportunity to partake in multiple funded projects. These include Delphi studies, an implementation trial to determine the most useful strategies for prompting BZRA deprescribing in primary care, and a cross-disciplinary initiative between the schools of Psychology and Architecture to determine the needs of domestic violence survivors in social and affordable housing. 

I am also experienced and passionate about teaching and received my AFHEA qualification in 2025. I have taught across a wide range of psychology undergraduate units from first to third year and strive to engage my students through supportive scaffolding and active learning.
