Welcome

I am a Lecturer of Social Data Science and Psychology at the University of Maryland. In the classroom, I use active learning techniques to make learning statistics practical and fun. My research interests are mainly in mediation (and its application to dyadic data), moderation, conditional process analysis, resampling methods, and power analysis. My main goals are to make advancements in quantitative methodology and make these advancements available to other researchers through software development (e.g., macros, R packages). Feel free to browse my work and email me with any questions about my macros or about consultation/workshops.
