Research Interests
IÌýam a quantitative social scientist interested in human values and social perception, their cultural variability, and data science informed by psychometrics. I have an MA in Psychology, a PhD in Sociology, and substantial training in statistics and psychometrics. I have lived and worked in three countries and have taught methods at various levels. I am looking into the determinants of values and worldviews across individuals in various countries and cultures. I believe this mystery can be unravelled through various scientific methods, which I take very seriously. This belief shapes my dual-focused research interest: understanding the substance of cultural (in)variability and the methods intrinsically linked to cross-cultural inference.
