About

I am a dedicated psychology lecturer with a passion for understanding how digital technologies shape human behavior and cognition. With a particular focus on cyberpsychology, my work delves into the psychological impacts of Virtual and Extended Realities (VR/XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). I aim to bridge the gap between psychological theory and the evolving digital landscape, exploring how immersive technologies influence identity, learning, and social interaction. In my teaching and research, I strive to inspire students to think critically about the intersections of psychology and technology. Whether it’s understanding VR’s potential in therapy or AI's impact on human decision-making, I am enthusiastic about fostering knowledge that’s both relevant and forward-thinking. I’m always interested in connecting with like-minded professionals, researchers, and students eager to explore the future of psychology in the digital age.
