The University of Sydney

I am a full-time academic at the University of Sydney, School of Psychology. Using multi-discuplinary approach, my team and I research psychological traits underlying decision-making, cognitive fitness and resilience, meta-reasoning, and well-being, and how extreme and uncertain conditions affect them. Understanding the “human” element, ihabitual nformation-processing strategies, and reasoning can improve decision-making and informaiton-processing (including in extreme conditions), adaptation, and well-being, as well as better selection processes, and better team compositions. We also develop or assist with developing novel assessment tools, and methodologies of significance to end-users, including Australian Defence.

I have produced more than 60 academic publications. My h-index is 32. My research has been cited more than 5,980 times (Google Scholar). I have been collaborating with the Australian Government Defence Science & Technology (DST) Group and Australian Army HQ on various collaborative research projects since 2013. My team members and I are pioneers in our approach to assessing resilience, adaptability, and decision-making using novel methodologies, simulation-embedded metrics and logfiles. As a member of the Meta-reasoning research network, I was a visiting scholar at a meeting that took place in Jerusalem, Hebrew University Sep. 1st – Dec. 31st, 2022 (funded by the Israel Institute of Advanced Sciences).
