Teaching

Workshops

In 2022, I gave a workshop on Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling during the conference SEM: New Developments and Applications. Materials for this workshop are available on GitHub.

Courses

I have taught work groups in various methodology and statistics courses since 2012, first as student-assistant and later as a PhD candidate. As Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, I have (co-)coordinated and taught in various methodology and statistics courses, including the Bayesian summer school course for which I developed new materials.

Supervision

2022-Current

PhD-Student Road to Resilience project

I am co-promotor and daily supervisor of Sanne Appels on the interdisciplinary Road to Resilience project. The goal of this project is to uncover protective factors and compensatory mechanisms behind resilient trajectories in atypical literacy acquisition using Bayesian (regularized) SEM.
