Welcome to my website
I also contribute to the MA programme in Applied Psychology (Mental Health) and supervise students for MA research projects. In the past few years I have been developing my skills in using the R programming language as a tool for research, statistical analysis and text mining. My blog posts on this site feature some of my explorations using R in psychology. Feel free to message me if you have ideas to improve the code or have other comments or feedback.
