Data Champions Search

My day-to-day job mostly involves helping postdocs and UTOs manage research funding applications and awards, through which I found myself receiving lots of questions about GDPR, research data management, and data management plans. I joined the Data Champions in order to help provide answers, and to be able to give applicants and award-holders in my department access to the network's excellent information and resources.

I am a PhD student at the Institute of Criminology, and I am supervised by Dr Kyle Treiber. My research focuses on the causes of aggression in adolescence, with a particular emphasis on the role of peer influence. More broadly, I am interested in the promotion of Open Research and the adoption of robust Research Data Management (RDM) practices across the social sciences.

My research lies at the intersection of psychology, education, and computer science. I am interested in the philosophical underpinnings of different statistical paradigms and reproducible science. I was previously trained in Bayesian cognitive modeling at the JAGS and WinBUGS workshop (by Prof. Michael Lee and Prof. Eric-Jan Wagenmakers) and Bayesian item response modeling at the University of Twente (by Prof. Jean-Paul Fox).
