Phuong (Flora) Le | 2021 - current | PhD
Flora Le completed her Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Psychology at Monash University in 2020. Her Honours project used a novel compositional data analysis approach to investigate the associations between daily activities and affect. Flora commenced her PhD in 2021 and is under the supervision of Dr Joshua Wiley, Dr Dot Dummuid (University of South Australia) and Dr Yue Liao (University of Texas at Arlington).
Her current research seeks to identify the healthiest way to spend time across daily activities such as sleep and physical activity. Because our day is limited to 24 hours, her work involves developing novel analytical models that explore the effects of balancing activities on daily psychological experiences (e.g., stress and affect) and mental health (e.g., depression and anxiety). She also works as a research assistant across the theme of sleep health, including interventions for better sleep.
