I’ve been working in the Department of Psychiatry for almost a decade now. I specialise in improving process and workflow and in research data management. I also work in branding, digital recruitment, website design and administration, social media management, and data architecture. I am particularly good at thinking of new and creative solutions to emerging problems. I am currently working on ways to govern and organise the many research projects within my department and in the School of Clinical Medicine, and on creating ways to share research and imaging data (MRI, PET etc) openly.  

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).
