In this edition, we cover the dynamic landscape of psychological sciences at Swinburne. Our researchers are among the best in the world, delving into the intricacies of human behaviour, cognition, and emotion. We are reminded of the profound impact that our work can have on individuals and communities. Whether it be advancing our understanding of mental health, exploring the complexities of social interactions, or pushing the boundaries of cognitive neuroscience, the research conducted in our department continues to extend the frontiers of knowledge. As a thriving group of psychological scientists, the Department of Psychological Sciences takes pride in the contributions we are making to Swinburne’s vision to be the University of choice to provide evidence and expertise to support society’s increasing need for transformative technology and for the human capital and talent to leverage it. We are also proud of our Excellence in Research Australia five-out-of-five ranking of research excellence, placing us at the top level of research excellence: above world standard, and our many national and international Awards for our outstanding research and development initiatives.
