A bit about me

Rizqy Amelia Zein is a social psychology instructor and an early-career researcher, working at Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Airlangga in Surabaya, Indonesia. I’m also a researcher-in-training at IGDORE, a volunteer at INArxiv - a OSF-hosted pre-print server in Indonesia, and a member of Indonesia Open Science Team. Just recently, my ECR friends and I decided to start Airlangga #OpenScience, which mainly focuses on promoting open scientific practices in Universitas Airlangga (and beyond).

As an aspiring PhD, I’m interested in investigating science denialism by looking at its relation with conspiracy belief, epistemic virtue/belief, religiosity and general/intellectual humility. I’m also particularly very passionate about research methods, replicability and statistics. Apart from my daily responsibilities, I’m determined to practise my programming skill and created this website using blogdown package. My favourite packages are including lavaan, lme4, tidyverse, and psych.

I was born in Lombok, a beautiful island next to Bali, but spent most of my childhood in Surabaya, Indonesia. Apart from my academic life, I enjoy cooking for my husband Ilham and my 3.5 year old daughter, Ayesha.
