I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Lifespan Cognitive Dynamics lab, before I was a data scientist at Donders Institute for brain, cognition, and behavior where I created the ggrain R package. I completed a doctoral degree at the Department of Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet.

I have a broad set of interests, my research is clustered around studying how we develop our cognitive abilities. Reproducibility, open source (copy left), and coding is near and dear to my heart. I love learning new methods and stats. In my research I try to use the design that best matches the question at hand (e.g., longitudinal, experimental, and causal inference).

I am currently on a temporary contract and open to offers within or outside of academia. It would be cool to collaborate, so don’t hesitate to reach out!

In my free time, I love to rock climb, travel, and surf. Sometimes I get a bit too addicted to podcasts... I grew up in La Jolla, and lived in Dublin, Umeå, Melbourne, Munich, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Nijmegen. Right now I'm in Amsterdam, roommates with Prof. Bruno Saaauce.
