Biography

I'm a PhD student and Gates Cambridge Scholar studying psychology at St John's College. Broadly, I examine the psychometric properties of Internet big data; my current research explores how social media data predict personality traits and dimensions of mental illness. In general, I'm interested in social data science, the overlap of clinical disorders with everyday personality traits, and personality differences across cultures.
