Biography
I completed my undergraduate degree at the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak and my postgraduate degrees at University of Otago, New Zealand. I also completed a PG Certificate of Academic Practice from Lancaster University. I am a Chartered Psychologist (British Psychological Society) and a Fellow from Advance HE. After my PhD, I did two brief stints as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Winnipeg, Canada and University of Nottingham Malaysia campus before moving to a faculty position (teaching and research track) in Sunway University, Malaysia. My research primarily focuses on social cognition and executive function in older adults. Why do some people age successfully and some don't? What are the ups and downs in successful ageing? As PI, I have been successful on several grants from Leverhulme Trust, Ministry of Education in Malaysia, AHRC UK, Newton Fund (British Council) in addressing these fundamental to applied research questions.
Research
I am interested in social cognition (e.g. Theory-of-Mind) and executive function in older adults. I also have a keen interest in using mobile phones and virtual reality as a possible tool to examine executive function in adults. My work is primarily an experimental quantitative approach. I welcome both undergrad and postgrad students who are keen in this research area.
