Data Champions Search

As Marshall Librarian I have taken an active role in supporting the Faculty of Economics with research. I have experience of supporting Open Access and Copyright. I have also completed Masters level training in RDM in my previous role at University of Sheffield. Craig Peacock, IT Manager in Economics, and I are working together as Research Data Champions in the Faculty. We are exploring training opportunities for undergraduates and all new postgraduate students in RDM and we have also given advice on completing ESRC Data Management Plans to academic staff making grant applications.

I am a Research Associate in the Faculty of Education, working with The EdTech Hub. The project focuses upon using educational technology in low- and middle-income countries. Before joining the Faculty, I was a visiting fellow at the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University, working primarily with the Open Education Research Hub. In addition to questions around mixed-methods data management in the Social Sciences, I am also particularly interested in open research, digital scholarship and licensing for data reuse.

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).
