Biography
I am a Doctoral Research Fellow in Psychology supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation under a "Doc.CH" Doctoral Research Fellowship. I obtained my M.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Lausanne (Lausanne, Switzerland) in 2021, and I am currently pursuing my D.Sc. in Psychology. My research employs graphical and structural equation modeling techniques to investigate how psychological constructs — such as behavioral "addictions" and impulsive behaviors — are conceptualized and assessed by their corresponding psychometric instruments. Additionally, I am dedicated to advancing the development and evaluation of psychometric instruments and promoting best practices in open science.
