Leanne ten Brinke, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, where she directs the Truth and Trust Lab. As a social and personality psychologist, her research investigates trust, deception, and dark personality traits across diverse populations—from incarcerated individuals to hedge fund managers and U.S. Senators.

Her research appears in dozens of peer-reviewed publications and has been featured in leading media outlets including the New York Times, Financial Times, Washington Post, Harvard Business Review, BBC, NPR, and CBC.
