Welcome to my personal academic website. I am lecturer in cognitive psychology at the University of Salford were I teach cognitive psychology and research methods, and research attention control.
This website started off as an attempt at being a more organised person and digitising the handwritten notes from lab notebooks over the years as an academic. The material were originally meant to be notes to my future self for the times when someone asks "hey you've used this software before, right?", but making them public also forces me to organise and present them more clearly. There are sections for programming psychophysics experiments, tutorials on one-off data wrangling and analysis techniques, and teaching material.
I received my PhD in cognitive psychology in 2016 from Bournemouth University working in the Cognitive Control Lab and my Bachelor's degree in 2009 from the National University of Singapore where I did undergrad research in the Psycholinguistics Lab.
Prior to my current appointment at Salford, I was a lecturer in psychology at DMU (2019-23), and did postdoctoral research in face processing at Bournemouth (2016-17) and the BabyLab at University College Dublin (2018-19). My early research experience began as a research assistant at the National Institute of Education, Singapore (2009-11), working on applied cognitive development.
Details of my research can be found on my university profile, ORCID, and Google Scholar pages.
