Research interests

Background

I joined the University of Glasgow as a Lecturer in November 2023, where I teach and supervise students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. My current teaching spans statistics, quantitative and qualitative research methods, and social psychology.

I am currently Programme Lead for the Psychology courses on the MSc Psychological Studies programme, which is led by the School of Education.

Before joining Glasgow, I held Lecturer positions in Psychology at the University of Liverpool and Solent University. Over the years, I have also taught students across a range of disciplines and educational contexts and worked on educational research projects at Newcastle University and the University of East Anglia, focusing on critical learning and equity in teaching and learning. These experiences have contributed to my broader interest in understanding learning and behaviour across different social and cultural contexts.

My academic career began in Vietnam, where I was a Lecturer at Ton Duc Thang University and co-founded an educational start-up. I completed my PhD at Newcastle University, where I explored students’ learning journeys in becoming critical thinkers. I also hold an MA with Distinction and a PgCert in Research Training from Newcastle University, having completed my undergraduate degree at Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City. More recently, I completed a PgCert in Academic Practice at the University of Glasgow.

 

Professional activities

I am an Associate Editor for the following journals:

  • Asian Education and Development Studies
  • Journal of Research in Innovative Teaching and Learning

I am a member of the editorial board for the London Review of Education.

I am also a regular reviewer for some journals such as SAGE Open, Asia Pacific Journal of Education, The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, International Journal of Educational Management, Journal of Teaching and Learning Practice, Language and Intercultural Communication, and Journal of Comparative & International Higher Education.

Research interests

My research interests lie primarily in social and cross-cultural psychology, with a particular focus on identity, acculturation, multiculturalism, stereotypes, intercultural relations, and well-being. I am interested in understanding how people negotiate their identities across cultural contexts, and how social and cultural factors shape psychological processes and behaviour.

A developing strand of my research explores the intersection of AI and psychology, particularly how engagement with AI may shape learning, behaviour, employability, and student development in higher education.
