Quantitative Researcher & Scientific Community Manager

The Royal Society of Arts

Imperial College London

I am currently splitting my time between quantitative research and scientific community management.

I work as a Quantitative Researcher at the Royal Society of Arts, where I work on interventions that aim to enable people, places and the planet to flourish in harmony. As part of my role, I work on enhancing our digital infrastructure to enable open, reproducible, and collaborative research, for example by maintaining our GitHub Organization.

I also work as a Scientific Community Manager at Imperial College London, specifically the UNIVERSE-HPC project. The UNIVERSE-HPC project aims to define a training curriculum framework, spanning from undergraduate to continuing professional development level, for Research Software Engineers (RSEs) specializing in high performance computing (HPC).

I previously completed a PhD Student at the the Psychology of Language department of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. In my PhD research, I studied how processes of language production and language comprehension affect memory, especially when combined into conversation. I investigated these topics using behavioural measures and eye-tracking methods, both in the lab and online, under the supervision of Dr Laurel Brehm and Professor Antje Meyer.
