Interested in Psychometrics and Quantitative Methods?

PhD student applications should be submitted to the PhD program in psychology. Click the following to learn more about Quantitative Psychology and Modelling at McGill. Requests from undergraduates who wish to be involved in research will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. All interested applicants are encouraged to contact me. Interest in the development and use of statistical methods is required. Experience in computer programming and/or coursework in math/statistics is desirable. I am also happy to entertain potential collaborations from researchers in related fields (biostatistics, statistics, educational measurement). See the page on Research for papers/topics that form the basis of my research program or feel free to write an email.
