After obtaining my PhD from LMU Munich and substituting two professorships (Computational Modeling in Psychology at LMU Munich & Psychological Methods at Leipzig University), I am now an Assistant Professor at the Department of Methodology and Statistics. My research primarily focuses on the integration of modern data science/machine learning methods and psychometrics.
