Alice Jenisch

Alice Jenisch is a researcher at the Hector institute. She is interested in any kind of psychological methods, including psychometrics, statistics, replicability and mathematical models. Her research focusses on knowledge structure theory, a psychometric approach, that is based on order theory. Besides her own research Alice offers methodological advice for LEAD members.
