Biography
I received PhD in Psychology (ANU) in 2015 and I am a current ARC DECRA fellow. Most of my research has been devoted to understanding the impacts of ambiguous information on people's reasoning, judgement and decision making. My current research focuses on understanding and measuring judgment and decision making under ambiguity uncertainty. I am also interested in psychometrics especially issues in cross-cultural measurement invariance, as well as statistical methods and modelling in psychology.
