Welcome!

I am a social and cognitive psychologist interested in belief formation and change. I blend psychology with data science techniques to identify meaningful patterns in social media data that reflect public perceptions and opinions. I have applied my methods to pressing societal issues, such as climate change, the influence of misinformation, and detection of research with misconduct or integrity concerns. More broadly, I aim to make science more accessible to scientists and the public alike. A more comprehensive account of my history can be found in my academic curriculum vitae.

I hold a postdoctoral fellowship at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The aim of my current research is to develop semi-automated approaches to monitor social acceptance and social change concerning the marine environment. Building on social psychology theory and current advances in Big Data, I aim to pre-empt conflict and identify the antecedents of public support.

I am open to collaborations, invitations for guest lectures, co-supervision of students, and projects that increase the accessibility of science. If you are interested in working with me, please reach out.
