I am a statistician with a background in Psychology and Philosophy, currently working on my PhD in the departments of Methodology & Statistics and Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. In my dissertation, I investigate issues with model and data characteristics that seriously affect the interpretation of model-fit measures in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). I pay special attention to longitudinal SEM, a variant of SEM that is often used in developmental sciences and research on youth. I apply my methodological findings to data and problems known to applied researchers.
I hold a master鈥檚 degree in Educational Psychology from Masaryk 木瓜福利影视 in Brno, Czechia, and a research master鈥檚 degree in Psychological Methods and Philosophy from the 木瓜福利影视 of Amsterdam. To finance my graduate studies in the Netherlands, I was awarded the prestigious . In the year between finishing my research master鈥檚 and starting my incredible PhD journey at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, I lectured in methodological and statistical courses at Masaryk 木瓜福利影视 in Brno. I also assisted with implementing evidence-based educational policies at the Czech Ministry for Education.
Besides SEM and its applications, I am interested in network analysis, interpretation of psychometric models and communication of statistics to applied researchers and laypeople.
