Selamat Datang! I am a cognitive scientist from Malaysia with nearly a decade of experience researching mental health conditions. My research aims to address:

  1. Precisely how structural inequalities contribute to mental health crises
  2. How best to intervene and support people affected
  3. How to inform policies for the eradication of poverty through an evidence-based, scientific, and anti-capitalist lens

My research skills span ecological momentary testing (mobile sensing), neuroimaging methods (fMRI and EEG), cognitive assessments, computational modelling, and structured interviews.

As an early-career researcher, I am constantly seeking out ways to make meaningful societal contributions through science. I am currently looking to collaborate with like-minded groups working in social justice, policy, and charity sectors.

I am a strong advocate for science being open, fair, and decolonial.
