Biography

I primarily work with large-scale language datasets, using methods from quantitative and computational social sciences, as well as the digital humanities. I also teach associated research methods, like statistics, data wrangling, and visualization.

Outside my research, I am 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, why we do it, and how to 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). I also deal with associated topics, like maximizing the impact of research through open research and science communication.

Biography

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.

Biography

I am a historian of science, medicine and humanities. Currently I am a PhD candidate at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, working on the Wellcome-funded research project "The Doctrine of Signatures in Early Modern Medical Practice (221115/Z/20/Z)". I specialise in the history of medicine, natural history and occult sciences in early modern Europe, and the history of ideas in the long nineteenth century, particularly in the circle of art historian Aby Warburg (1866–1929). Before coming to Cambridge, I have worked as a new media art curator in Beijing.

As a historian, I am very interested in the historical aspect of Research Data Management from early modern botanical taxonomy, nineteenth-century index cards to the digital age. I seek to explore how techniques of data management shaped our perspectives, methodologies, and construction of scientific objects in the long run, and how our RDM practice in humanities today could benefit from past theories and experiences. I am the founder of the History of Science Library, a public Zotero library for the history of science and a resource hub for historical and contemporary data management in humanities. Currently I'm running RDM training sessions both in my department and virtually based at the History of Science Library, please feel free to get in touch.
