Professor Tamlin Conner's research on emotional and physical well-being is distinguished by the use of mobile technology to measure people's experiences in real-time in the context of daily life.

Tamlin received her BA(Hons) in psychology from the University of Colorado, PhD in social psychology from Boston College, and postdoctoral training in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut Health Center in the United States. She joined the University of Otago in 2008.
