I am a researcher and instructor in the field of research integrity and ethics. My current research foci include three areas: (1) research integrity and ethics as they relate to knowledge, misconceptions, and attitudes that are prevalent among graduate students and scientists; (2) instructional methods and strategies, especially those that are online, for imparting ethics education to learners; and (3) the challenges of supporting research integrity in the face of publication pressures (e.g., the ethics of authorship), particularly in East Asian academia.
