Biography

I received my PhD in cognitive neuroscience from Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL). I am currently a Research Associate at the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge. My interests include data processing and analysis methods for neuroimaging techniques employed in developmental research (fNIRS & EEG). I am interested in the application of these methods for investigating functional connectivity and cognitive processes such as social cognition and language acquisition in infant populations.

Biography

I primarily develop and analyze large-scale language datasets using methods from the quantitative and computational social sciences (which sometimes overlap with the digital humanities). My main focus in doing this is on investigating language acquisition and use, though I also engage with related topics. To complement my research, I teach quantitative methods to a range of students, researchers, and staff from across Cambridge, as the lecturer for two courses: “Quantitative Methods for Analysing Language Data” and “Making Sense of Statistics”.

I am also an active science communicator, primarily via two websites that I author: Effectiviology (https://effectiviology.com/), where I write about psychology and philosophy that have practical applications, and Solving Procrastination (https://solvingprocrastination.com/), where I write about what procrastination is, what causes it, and how we can overcome it.

As a Data Champion, I focus on the use of quantitative and computational methods for working with data (e.g., for data wrangling and statistical analyses), as well as on open research. I also deal with associated topics, such as maximizing the impact of research through science communication.
