Playing with data
I specialize in human memory & metacognition.
I teach statistics & programming to psychologists.
I received training in Cognitive Psychology from University College London (PhD, 2009),
where I studied false memory. I then came to Washington University in St. Louis,
where I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate since 2009.
My first position was in two
Memory/Labs
(headed up by Roddy Roediger and Kathleen McDermott).
There I was involved in both basic memory research and applying cognitive psychology to education.
Meanwhile, I decided to learn Flash so that I could run experiments online.
I then went on to teach flash and write a
textbook.
My current position is in the Personality Assessment Lab, headed up by Thomas Oltmanns.
Here I am developing advanced statistical techniques and expertise in individual difference measures, which I plan on applying to my metacognitive research.
In the past I have also consulted as a data analyst for Decision Technology, a UK-based commercial/academic hybrid company that specializes in human decision-making.
