In addition to these disciplines, I have a strong interest in quantitative, especially longitudinal and mediation research methods, leveraging data collected from longitudinal cohort studies, aiming to understand developmental processes and elucidation bio-behavioural mechanism to understand the onset of health outcomes and psychiatric disorders
