Mark's teaching and research interests focus on three main areas: motor cognition, meta-cognition and applied performance psychology interventions. Mark's research to date has focused on trying to understand the cognitive and perceptual elements of expertise in elite performers. Mark has utilised mixed methodologies in examining the cognitive processes underlying expert performance from qualitative (interviews, focus groups) to quantitative (laboratory and field studies). Specifically, he has used eye-tracking technology to examine visual attentional control in expert's decision-making skills, preparation for action and subsequent performance execution. He is also interested in mental skills training and sport psychology interventions with athletes and coaches. Mark is also chairman of the PPS-UL steering committee.
Current projects include:

Current projects include:
- Expertise in Action: An experimental investigation of the effects of anxiety on visual attention in skilled performance (in collaboration with Professor Aidan Moran, University College Dublin).
- Psychological and biomechanical characteristics of expert golf performance- a comparison of able-bodied and disabled golfers (in collaboration with the Centre for Human Performance Sciences at Stellenbosch University South Africa).
-
Concussion in Rugby: Objective cognitive functioning and subjective severity of concussion in active rugby players (in collaboration with Dr Maria Semkovska, UL Psychology Dept.).
Mark completed his PhD in 2007 under the supervision of
