Bio
My main area of expertise is emotion, with special focus on positive emotions and appraisal theories. I also examine religion processes. In 2011, I was named a Rising Star in Psychology by the Association for Psychological Science (APS). In 2023, I was elected a Fellow of APS and a Fellow of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. I have received numerous teaching awards including NUS’s Honour Roll of Annual Teaching Excellence (2012-2017). I am an Associate Editor of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and have been on the editorial board of several journals including Emotion and Motivation and Emotion.
