I combine quantitative (statistics and machine learning-based), field study (large-scale surveys), and behavioral (lab and online experiments) methods, to explore fundamental research questions that have a bearing on critical marketing issues. My current work focuses on three areas:

  • One area is to study the use of conflicting ad emotions (e.g., hope and anxiety) in communication messages and human–computer interaction. Based on affective determinants, how emergent technologies, such as immersive multimedia, avatar or crowdfunding platforms, are able to increase the attractiveness of their products and services to the public. 
  • The other area is to examine how real-time marketing (RTM) can facilitate consumer decision journey and bring value to the firms. Brands and companies nowadays are actively utilizing social media to send out marketing messages in response to external events in a real-time manner. What kind of firm-generated content will succeed or even fall short? Specifically, we investigate when and why social media content by firms fail. 
  • Outside of the business realm, I am interested in the effective use of cognitive behavioral therapy and gamification in the context of mobile health (mHealth) solutions as well as the design of digital applications for enhanced user well-being.

My Teaching

My research informs my teaching. I use evidence-informed teaching approaches such as integrating journal articles and business cases. As an educator of marketing subjects, my priorities are engaging students in internalizing contemporary knowledge and developing transferable skills for MarTech. I believe that we change lives through our encounters with students. I have taught the following courses at UNSW:

  • ZZBU6513 Social Media & Digital Analytics
  • MARK3085 Digital Marketing & Web Analytics
  • MARK3088 Product Analytics
  • MARK5814 Digital Marketing
  • MARK5826 Product Analytics
  • MARK8995 Business Research Method in Marketing
