I recently completed a PhD in Psychology at The University of New South Wales (UNSW). In my PhD, I examined the risk factors for intimate partner violence. I applied the attachment theory in the investigation. Specifically, I examined why insecurely attached people were more likely to perpetrate and experience the violence.

Prior to that, I completed a master's degree by research at The University of Sydney. I examined the perceptions of ADHD among young people who were diagnosed with this disorder. Moreover, I compared how diagnosed adolescents and their parents viewed ADHD, and how their divergent perceptions affect adolescents' wellbeing and coping with the disorder.

I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at The University of Sydney. I am examining how and why people worsen their romantic partner's emotions, which can inform the development of psychological aggression.
