Dr Fang-Chi Lu, Senior Lecturer in Marketing
Fang-Chi received her PhD in Marketing from The University of Iowa (USA). She has examined topics including how cognitive factors such as mindsets and political beliefs affect consumer motivation and goal pursuit in the domains of health, personal finances, and prosocial behaviours, and decision-making of vulnerable consumer populations, particularly the socially excluded and lonely consumers, with the focus on promoting their well-being. She has published in and served on an ad-hoc reviewer role in several premier and leading journals in the fields of marketing, consumer behaviour, and consumer psychology, as ranked by the Financial Times Top 50 (FT50) and the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC).

Aphrodite Vlahos
"When I started my PhD, I had been trained as an experimental researcher, and I came in thinking that’s what I was going to do – experimental consumer research! One of the best parts of being in a diverse department like the department of Management and Marketing, is how helpful and encouraging everyone is at doing different kinds of research."
