Farid Anvari Curriculum vitae Email: farid.anvari@flinders.edu.au Professional Statement To paraphrase Richard Feynman, science increases our understanding of the world by decreasing our uncertainty about it. It is uncertainty, and acknowledged ignorance even, that drives curiosity. I am a driven research psychologist with a passion for scientific research and its dissemination to the wider public. I have experience in literature reviews, theoretical and statistical modelling, scale development and psychometrics, and designing survey and experimental studies. I have conducted a mini-meta analysis and coded 2 large studies for a meta-analysis reproducibility project. I am trained in different data analysis techniques (both quantitative and qualitative) with proficiency in SPSS; and I am currently training in the use of R programming statistical software packages.

I go surfing and can stand up somewhat consistently, and I hope to one day ride in the barrel of a beautiful wave one can dream. I ve recently completed an open water dive course and can now scuba dive up to a depth of 18 metres: it s almost like flying but can be quite panic inducing to begin with. Unfortunately there isn t enough time to read everything I want to read but thanks to the increasing spread of audiobooks I get through much of what attracts my attention while I wash the dishes, drive, and when I cook. I m known to immerse myself in fiction and non-fiction writings on my chosen topic until my curiosity and interests are satisfied which can take a while. And, basically, I love life, with all its ups and downs.
