With broad training in both quantitative psychology and statistics, my research interests span multiple disciplines, crossing theoretical advances with practical applications.

I am primarily interested in methodological issues in psychometrics, with latent variable modeling, latent class analysis, and mixed-effects models being the main focus of my current quantitative research program.

Empirically, I am interested in the assessment, treatment, and etiology of pathological gambling. I have further empirical interests in the assessment of knowledge states of students through use of tests (in both low and high stakes settings).

Currently, I have many projects ongoing in a broad set of research areas including:

  • Educational Measurement
  • Diagnostic Assessment/Cognitive Diagnosis
  • Estimation and Optimization
  • Sports Forecasting
  • Latent Variable Models
  • Bayesian Statistics
