Teaching is a joyful experience if you have the luck to teach what you’re passionate about. And I was very lucky so far.
I am doing my best to spread the ability to code among students at all levels. Mostly, I do it using R as it is a very useful programming language for scientific purposes and it has a user friendly interface (RStudio).
Statistics are hated by some, loved by others. I think knowing your tools lets you understand the science you do and the questions you want to ask better. In my teaching I try to focus on estimation and understanding the effects rather than focusing of hypothesis testing and black-or-white decision making.
Since 2022, I have been giving a course on "Psychology of Prejudice: A Social and Cognitive Perspective" that I designed myself. It covers a broad range of prejudice-related topics, aiming to increase understanding of how negative attitudes towards others arise and what can we do to counteract them.
In my Master thesis, I looked at how individual differences in working memory are reflected in the brain. I used EEG (electroencephalography) to learn about the quick processing involved in memorizing and manipulating information in a short time-scale.
As a side project, I worked together with colleagues on attentional deficits in children diagnosed in with ADHD.
