Research
Main research
- Mathematical Psychology, Psychometrics and Psychophysics (interdisciplinary applications of methods)
- potential bridging theories between quantitative approaches to assessment (like Item Response Theory) and qualitative ones (like Knowledge Space Theory)
- latent variable models and their applications to Education, Entrepreneurship, Social and Organizational Psychology
