Research Notes

Welcome to my Research Notes—a space where I reflect on the stories behind the studies. Here, I’ll be sharing insights drawn from my published works: the research questions that kept me up at night, the methods I explored (and sometimes wrestled with), what worked well, what didn’t quite go as planned, and the inevitable limitations and constraints of gathering real-world data. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the research process—messy, rewarding, and always enlightening. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve been fortunate to cross paths with scholars, mentors, colleagues, and even students who have challenged and inspired me. Much of what I’ve written and published is the result of those rich exchanges of ideas and generous guidance. To them, I owe deep gratitude. Whether you’re a fellow researcher, a student navigating your thesis, or simply curious about the making of academic work, I hope these notes offer both clarity and encouragement. Research is never a solitary pursuit—it is a shared journey of inquiry, collaboration, and continuous learning. Let’s keep the conversation going.
