Andrew Higham was born in Merseyside and raised in Greater Manchester, where he lived with his family until he was 18 years old.

At the age of 18, Andrew left home to study Psychology at the University of Reading, which he completed with honours. After this he then decided to move to Cardiff to study an MSc in Organisational Psychology, followed by a PhD in Educational Psychology. It was during this time that he started to teach classes at both Undergraduate and Masters level.

After completing his PhD, Andrew then decided to move to Taiwan, to experience a new and interesting culture. He stayed there for almost 2 years, teaching English classes and eating as much as possible.

In late 2007, Andrew applied to do Post-Doctoral training at the Catholic University of Chile. A job he would stay in for 6 years, from 2008 until 2014, when he made the move from La Catolica to La Chile. A job he has remained in until this day.

Andrew's main interests are in the design of methods to accelerate the transmission of knowledge and, on a lighter note, cooking and eating as many different types of food as possible and he can often be found hanging out in different restaurants serving all types of food. From fine dining, to burger and fries.
