About me

Maximilian Linde

PhD student

University of Groningen

I am a PhD student at the Psychometrics & Statistics group at the faculty of Behavioural & Social Sciences at the University of Groningen, under the supervision of Don van Ravenzwaaij, Jorge N. Tendeiro, and Rob R. Meijer.

In my PhD project, I am developing easy-to-use Bayesian statistical techniques and software for research in the biomedical sciences (but also other fields). A major focus lies on reducing complexity and increasing user-friendliness, in order to reach a wide audience of researchers.

Apart from that, I am very enthusiastic about statistics/data science/machine learning and programming in general, and I take active steps to expand my horizon and learn as much as possible.

Academic

The work for my PhD focuses on Bayesian inference primarily for the biomedical sciences. More specifically, I develop software and tools that aim to make the application of Bayesian techniques simpler for researchers who are not statistical experts. At this point, this accumulated in the baymedr R package (see also here) and a corresponding Shiny web application (not hosted yet).

See below for my academic output and activity.
