Jonathan

Impact Coordinator

Jonathan

As an early-career researcher, Jonathan has over 5 years of quantitative and mixed methods research experience in various fields including neuropsychology, psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, and social psychology. Over the years, his research has been presented at conferences both locally (MAPSA and MIPC), and internationally (International Connect’M).

Jonathan completed his Bachelor’s in Psychology at HELP University with First Class Honors and was later offered a scholarship to pursue a PhD in Psychology at the University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus. Currently, he leads his research team in investigating the effects of multilingualism on brain and behavior. The results of his thesis would have important implications for Malaysia’s existing educational policies as well as for populations diagnosed with pathological cognitive decline or otherwise.

He believes that unless academic research can be transformed into actionable plans to improve or impact society, academia would remain in a bubble, disconnected from pervasive issues in society.
