About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Methodology and Statistics, Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I develop statistical methods that help researchers in psychology, medicine and the life sciences get more out of their experiments and longitudinal studies, and I turn these methods into open-source software.

Research focus

• Complex data analysis for experimental designs: interindividual differences in custom contrasts using structural equation modeling (SEM)
• Intensive longitudinal data: dynamic SEM for intraindividual variability in experiments
• Machine learning & data mining: subgroup discovery in psychological studies
• fMRI: realistic noise simulation for accurate power calculation
• Open science and AI in education: open-source software, reproducible workflows, open educational resources

On this site

• CV: academic positions, education, research interests
• Publications: articles, chapters, software and talks, filterable by topic
• Software: R packages implementing my methods, such as semnova and subgroupsem
• Funding & Awards: research grants, scholarships and awards

You can also find me on GitHub, ORCID, LinkedIn and ResearchGate.
