Welcome
I am a second year doctoral student in the Quantitative Psychology Program
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill happily under Dr. Robert C. MacCallum.
Before joining UNC, I completed my Masters in Social Science at the Department of Psychology
from the National University of Singapore under Dr. George D. Bishop.
While working on my Masters, I spent 6 months as a visiting scholar at the Duke Behavioral Medicine Research Center under the direction of Dr. Redford B. Williams.
Following the completion of my Masters, I worked for a year at the Center for Child and Family Policy
at Duke University under Dr. Rick H. Hoyle.
I was a member of the Data Center
for the Fast Track Project in addition to
collaborating with Dr. Laura S. Richman
from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.
Research Interests
My main interests concern the examination of models for data collected in psychology and behavioral medicine.
I am broadly interested in models based on correlational data, especially structural equation modeling. In addition,
I am interested in methods concerning longitudinal data structures such as Multilevel Models and Latent Curve Models.
My ongoing substantive interests involve modeling intensive longitudinal data present in ecological momentary assessment
and ambulatory cardiovascular measures. Additionally, I am also interested in extending
the use of Latent Curve Models to experimental psychophysiological data most
often collected in Applied Social Psychology and research in Behavioral Medicine.
