RESEARCH FOCUS
I study interpersonal workplace relationships, examining how socio-economics, culture, and minority group membership shape interactions and outcomes. I explore this through decision-making, mental models, and emotional dynamics underlying these relationships, and how they connect to wellbeing at work. I take an interdisciplinary lens, integrating organisational behaviour, child psychology, family studies, and sociology to capture both the complexity and the commonalities of human behaviour across contexts. I also engage in metascience initiatives to enhance the rigour and reproducibility of behavioural research.
