About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the Central University of Karnataka, Kalaburagi. I hold a Ph.D. in Applied Psychology from Pondicherry University and bring extensive teaching, research, and curriculum design experience across premier higher education institutions, including CHRIST University, Bengaluru, and RGNIYD, Sriperumbudur. My research operates at the intersection of developmental and adolescent mental health, cyber-victimisation, and psychometrics. My work addresses contemporary behavioural challenges, with recent high-impact publications investigating national undergraduate psychology curricula, adolescent well-being in digital environments, caregiver burnout, and evidence-based interventions such as internet-delivered Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). As a passionate methodologist and educator, I regularly conduct faculty development programmes and advanced workshops on structural equation modelling (SEM), psychometric scale development, and multivariate statistics.
