- Feel free to contact me to commission popular science articles and talks!
Blog
- Mixed Effects Location Scale Models for EMA: I showcase MELSM for EMA data, how to extract and plot the posteriors for random and fixed effects.
- DAG & Generative model. I made a Directed Acyclical Graph and wrote a generative model for a preregistration.
I later used these models to simulate data from and hope that the workflow might be interesting for others too.
Find the preregistration here: osf.io
- A guide for DAGs and Bayes with EMA data: I go through a workflow combining Directed Acyclical Graphs with Bayesian analysis for Ecological Momentary Assessment data.
- A guide for multi-level correlation in R using STAN: I use simulated nested data to show the benefit of multi-level correlations and how these can be written in STAN.
Experience
- Scientific programming using R and Python.
- Analysis of behavioural data, physiological measures, meta-analyses.
- Teaching (e.g. scientific methods, health behaviour seminars and lectures).
Skills
- Python: anything from programming experiments over data analysis to text-parsing, mostly using functional programming.
- R: preferrably Bayesian statistics.
- SQL: for business data analystics.
Hobbies
- Playing Jazz guitar, organising jam-sessions.
- Hiking along the rivers of Germany and mountains of Austria.
