    Biography

    I joined Keele University as a lecturer in October 2019. I received my PhD and MPhil in Social and Developmental Psychology from the University of Cambridge, and an MSc in Applied Forensic Psychology from the University of York. After obtaining my PhD, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at National Taiwan University (2013-14) and at the California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant International University (2015-16), and as a lecturer at Bournemouth University (2017-19) prior to joining Keele.  

    My research include investigative interviews with vulnerable populations, working with families in challenging circumstances, as well as cognitive factors influencing investigative decision making. I am passionate about using knowledge to help solve real-world issues and challenges, and I can provide consultancy and training to legal professionals and can serve as an expert witness.

    Research and scholarship

    My research areas gravitate around factors influencing child functioning in socio-cultural and legal contexts, and how such socio-cultural factors influence children’s statements during forensic interviews. Other than children, I also examine the experiences of other vulnerable populations' experiences in the criminal justice system, and how people make judgments about these vulnerable people's statements. My research usually adopts multi-disciplinary, multi-method design (questionnaires, experiments, behavioural observations, interviews and transcript analyses), and has strong applications for psychological, forensic, educational and social-work practices. 

    Relevant to my research expertise, I also serve in a number of external committee to help improve legal and professional practices, including serving as an Advisory Council member for the International Guidelines on Non-Coercive Interviewing and Associated Safeguards, by the Anti-Torture Initiative (ATI), the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT), and the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR); external consultant for child witness/victim forensic interviewing practice for Ministry of Health and Welfare as well as Ministry of Justice in Taiwan.
