My research journey

My research interests have developed over time, and they reflect my curiosity about human behavior and development in different settings. During my undergraduate and master’s studies in Psychology, I explored various topics, which gave me a foundation for learning and growth. As I transitioned into my Ph.D. program, I began to focus on exploring the relationships between technology use, particularly screen use behavior, and its effects on cognition and mental health throughout the lifespan. I am especially interested in utilizing Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to capture real-time data and gain deeper insights into these dynamics. This journey reflects my commitment to improving digital well-being and promoting healthier interactions with technology for meaningful contributions to human development.
