MATE CHOICE

Mate preferences
I investigate the key positive and negative dimensions of potential partner evaluation: the dealmakers and dealbreakers of mate choice.

Mate value
I study what mate value is, its role on the mating market, and what factors affect self-perceived mate value.

Preference integration
I am interested in how mate preferences are integrated into the mate choice decision and what model has the best predictions. 

MENTAL HEALTH

Socioeconomic factors
I study how childhood socioeconomic background affect depression and cognition.

Ageing
My research focuses on longitudinal associations between later-life depression, cognition, and physical health.

Couples
I am interested in how couples affect each others' well-being and mental health.

 STATISTICAL METHODS

Confirmatory Factor Analysis
I am passionate about exploring the key dimensions of partner perception.

Growth Mixture Modeling
I conducted studies extracting meaningful distinct longitudinal latent trajectories using this unsupervised method. 

Mediation Analysis
May it be longitudinal mediation or cross sectional, I am always up to figuring out a path model. 

Machine Learning
​I recently became interested in exploring how statistical learning can obtain better predictions than traditional methods.
