He has nearly a decade of experience in applied research with collaborations with labour unions, government ministries, social service institutions, volunteer organisations, and private Singaporean companies and multi-national corporations.

Galvyn firmly beliefs in using the appropriate methodologies to answer the main research questions in every research project, whether these methods are experimental RCTs to establish cause-and-effect, quasi-experimental studies in classrooms, and mixed methods and quantitative and qualitative approaches to understand the richness and diversity of the human experience.

  2. empowerment of disadvantaged groups in society,
  3. promoting social inclusion and diversity,
  4. understanding and addressing prejudice,
