Dr. Emery holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of York and a PhD in Psychology from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Prior to joining UEA, she served as a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge Institute of Public Health for three years, evaluating digital stop smoking interventions including 'MiQuit' and 'Quit Sense'. From 2006 to 2014, she worked at Cambridge Assessment leading research on university admissions tests for medicine and other competitive courses.
Her research interests focus on smoking cessation, addictive behaviors, behavior change, and quantitative research methods. She specializes in digital smoking cessation interventions (development and evaluation), smoking cessation in pregnancy, quantitative methodology, and test construction and validation. Her work combines rigorous quantitative approaches with practical applications in public health settings, often involving collaboration with NHS services.
Dr. Emery's publication record demonstrates consistent focus on digital health solutions for smoking cessation in pregnancy, with particular emphasis on app-based interventions, carbon monoxide monitoring, and improving adherence to nicotine replacement therapy. Her research methodology integrates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to develop and evaluate effective interventions.
She has extensive experience carrying out and disseminating research in both academic and business environments. Dr. Emery has previously taught research design and statistics courses and continues to support research students. Her current projects include collaborations with Norfolk & Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Nottingham, bridging academic research with practical healthcare delivery to improve smoking cessation outcomes for pregnant women.
