I am a metascience researcher at the
University of Bern. In 2026, I completed a PhD in psychology and
neuroscience at King's College London, based in a randomised controlled
trial for trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis.
My broad interests are in clinical psychology and research practices.
Currently, I work on two main questions:
(1) How do we test that psychological treatments work?
(2) How effective are normal scientific practices at generating
cumulative knowledge?
We look at both in the QUEST project, studying how estimates of
psychological intervention efficacy are impacted by subtle measurement
choices and statistical trade-offs. My metaresearch work
also investigates research methods in evidence-based practice, changes
in scientific norms, replications, peer review, and transparency.
I value working in and contributing to a positive, inclusive research
culture. For people early in their career, particularly from groups
under-represented in academia, it can be hard to reach out. If this is
you, please do
contact me to discuss research or careers.
