About

I have obtained my Ph.D. degree at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Subsequently, I joined the ANU, where I currently work as a full-time research and teaching academic. My expertise is broadly in the areas of social, personality, political, and cross-cultural psychology. My main research interests include ethnocentrism, prejudice, personality, narcissism, Machiavellianism, stigma, attitudes, authoritarianism, cross-cultural research, psychometrics, and scale development.
