Dr. Elayne Ahern is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology. She completed an interfaculty Ph.D. in psychology with health economics at the University of Limerick, which has oriented her research interests toward optimising preventative and treatment approaches for mental health and, in particular, depression. Her primary line of research adopts a neuro-psychological lens to investigate the cognitive profile, treatment strategies, and functional recovery outcomes for major depression, using trial and evidence synthesis methods. Related work has involved internet-based treatment approaches for mental health promotion and treatment cost-effectiveness.

She was awarded an Evidence Synthesis Ireland Fellowship 2022 to foster her continued development in research excellence in this method within the expert evidence synthesis centre at Campbell UK and Ireland (mentor: Dr. Fiona Lynn, Deputy Director Campbell UK & Ireland).
