Felix Y. Wu
Industrial-Organizational Psychology Doctoral Candidate at Rice University
I am a 5th year doctoral candidate at Rice University studying Industrial-Organizational Psychology working with Dr. Fred Oswald. As a person with a disability, one of my primary research interests is to investigate workplace disparities that plague people with disabilities and understanding the mechanisms behind such disparities. To this end, I have interned at the Independent Living Research Utilization and published a first author publication in the journal Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion examining how the American with Disabilities Act has impacted people with disabilities in 2010 and 2015, working with the renowned primary architect of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, Dr. Lex Frieden. Through my research experiences with Lex, interactions with other disability advocates, and with my unique perspective as someone with a disability, I hope to use his lived experiences to inform those questions and practically to use his research to reach a broader audience through my contacts.
Additionally, I am interested in leveraging quantitative methods (i.e., machine learning, structural equation modeling, etc.), both old and new, to gain a more nuanced understanding of disability issues at work. My other research interests are focused on the impact of individual differences and motivation on workplace phenomena such as performance and personnel selection and how quantitative methods may inform those relationships. One recent example of my research in this area is my recent publication exploring whether game-based assessments are predictive of personality. If you would like to know more about my research, please check out my research page.
Also, if any of these topics are of interest to you, please check out my CV or reach out to me.
