Expertise
Twenty years of work spanning psychology, education, social policy, gender equality, wellbeing, and sustainability, grounded in rare depth in research methods, psychometrics, quantitative analysis, and program evaluation.
Expertise map
Deep knowledge of the science and policy domains - psychology, education, social policy, gender equality, wellbeing, and sustainability - paired with the research methods, psychometrics, quantitative analysis, and evaluation expertise to measure them well.
Substantive domains
The science and policy domains where the questions live - from psychology and education through gender equality, wellbeing, and sustainability.
Psychological science across skills, personality, cognition, and development.
Social and emotional learning, personality psychology, creativity, metacognition, intelligence, and early childhood development, from conceptual frameworks to highly cited empirical work.
Methods and technical depth
The research, measurement, and evaluation methods that turn those domains into rigorous, comparable evidence.
Instruments that are interpretable, defensible, and fit for purpose.
Instrument development, item design, scoring, norming, reliability, validity, IRT, CFA, and technical documentation for assessment programmes.
Areas of expertise
The science and policy domains the work spans, and the research methods, psychometrics, and evaluation expertise that make it defensible. Each area links to related publications and work.

Open related materialsSelected methods
A few of the methods that run through the projects: establishing comparability before comparing groups, building an evidence chain from programme logic to impact, and turning a construct into a validated, normed measure. Original schematics, not project deliverables.
Establishing that a construct means the same thing across groups before any score is compared.
From a programme's logic of change to defensible, decision-ready impact evidence.
Turning a construct into a validated, normed, and reportable measure.
