Biography

I am a PhD student in psychology at the University of California Davis and a member of the MetaMelb research group at the University of Melbourne. My research explores perceptions of scientists and scientific practices, evaluations of research quality (within and outside of traditional peer review), and changes in the characteristics and credibility of research published in social and personality psychology over time. I am also interested in the development of tools and guidelines to improve the peer review process and to aid researchers in identifying threats to the validity of psychological research.
