About me
Research Interest: Developmental Psychopathology; Clinical Psychology; Neuroscience
​
​I am interested in studying developmental psychopathology in a bio-psycho-social framework, examining how early experiences shape brain development and later behaviour and why some children exposed to adversity show resilience while others develop externalizing psychopathology such as conduct disorder and antisocial behaviour. Using person centred and network methods including latent profile analysis and Bayesian networks, together with psychometric scale development and analysis of applied datasets, my research aims to identify neurocognitive and environmental mechanisms that explain heterogeneity in outcomes and to translate these insights into targeted prevention and family based interventions.

SKILLS
QUANTITATIVE METHODS
I build and apply rigorous quantitative methods to answer research questions, including but not limited to multilevel and longitudinal models, latent profile analysis, and machine learning (Bayesian network modelling). I am trained and proficient in R, SPSS, Stata, Mplus, and other analytical softwares.
PSYCHOMETRICS SCIENCE
I design and validate psychometric instruments, following best practices from construct definition and item generation through pilot testing, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability and validity evaluation. My past works include creating culturally appropriate items, split sample validation, and iterative refinement.
TEACHING
I deliver and facilitate both in-person and online instruction in quantitative methods and public health metrics, teaching Introduction to R, Global Burden of Disease, and quantitative research methods using established curricula and materials.
