Biography

Dr Galina Daraganova is a quantitative psychologist who joined the Institute as a research fellow/data analyst in 2010. Her research focuses on the theory and application of longitudinal data analysis for complex survey data, particularly using the data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children.

Prior to joining AIFS Galina worked in the MelNet group at the Department of Psychology, University of Melbourne. Her research focused on the development of statistical models for network-based social processes and on applications of these models in the epidemiology and labour market research.
