Raymond is a PhD student at the University of British Columbia. He received his undergraduate research training at the Toronto Lab for Social Neuroscience (Dr. Michael Inzlicht) and Affective Science and Health Lab (Dr. Brett Ford and Dr. Kaitlyn Werner). At UBC, Raymond primarily works with Dr. Luke Clark at the Centre for Gambling Research.

Excessive consumption of activities like gambling and video gaming can place a tremendous burden on life and society. Raymond’s research uses a combination of large-scale survey, behavioural, and physiological techniques to gain insights into decision-making, digital technology use, and addiction in humans.
