Data Champions Search

Additional areas of expertise:

Plant science, Quantitative genetics.

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. 

I am a postdoctoral fellow at The Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge, UK. My research interests are mitochondrial and redox biology, cancer research, tumor suppressors, mitochondrial stress signaling, mitochondrial dynamics, reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, hypoxia, transcriptional cyclins, mitochondrial DNA inheritance, mitochondrial recombination, mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma, cytochrome c oxidase, germline development, and Drosophila genetics.
