Broadly speaking, I work on topics of quantitative methods and design for the social sciences. In particular, I am interested in causal inference, both model-based and design-based. 

I have done work on the use of propensity scores with clustered data and have written an SPSS program that performs propensity score matching which can be downloaded at https://sourceforge.net/p/psmspss/home/Home/. 

I am currently funded by the Institute of Education Sciences to develop a web-based interface for the analysis of regression-discontinuity designs. An R package has been released on CRAN (the official R server), and a web-based GUI using the Shiny environment was released in 2018. 

I continue to publish in methodological and applied journals, including Multivariate Behavioral Research, Psychological Methods, or Structural Equation Modeling. 

Finally, I work on collaborative projects with applied colleagues that span different areas of developmental psychology.

I offer Quantiative Methods (QM) 1, 2, and 3 on a regular basis. All courses are cross-listed between Human Development and Psychology, and are open to graduate students and advanced undergraduate students. QM1 is a course on the analysis of randomized studies (mostly ANOVA designs), QM2 focuses on the analysis of non-randomized studies (mostly regression), and QM3 covers a mix of more advanced statistical methods. I try to implement active learning components in all of my classes, and am the faculty lead for an active learning grant in the Psychology department.
