About


I am the lead researcher (principal investigator) of  the Muslim Diversity Study, currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow and lecturer in the School of Psychology, Speech and Hearing at the University of Canterbury (Christchurch, New Zealand).

Within the Muslim Diversity Study, I focus on examining social attitudes and values of Muslims in New Zealand.  Additionally, I investigate meaning-making, along with identifying factors that contribute to flourishing and overall well-being in religious groups.

I have received training in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, with a primary emphasis on memory suppression and utilizing EEG brainwave data for the identification of criminal knowledge. Additionally, my research encompasses contemplative neuroscience, where I aim to analyze neural signals (EEG) during contemplative practices.

I use experimental (behavioural as well as neuroscientific) and observational methods.

I am experienced in teaching statistics, research methods, and cognitive psychology. Backed by a track record of effective leading and supervising research at different levels (PhD, Masters, and Honours),  my immediate goal is to become a permanent (tenure-track) lecturer in the field of psychology.

Psychology fascinates me a great deal and my lifelong goal is to conduct good science and contribute to open science.

I use GitHub with RStudio and Quarto to learn, produce, and share code. Occasionally, I use Matlab too.
