Adriana F. Chávez De la Peña



Hola!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. I am interested in the study of individual differences through the lens of cognitive psychometrics.

My research work focuses on facilitating the Bayesian implementation of cognitive process models (i.e., sequential sampling models for choice and response time data) to be used as measurement models through the development of:

  • Software (e.g., custom models in JAGS)
  • Statistical methods (e.g., "EZ" sampling distributions)
  • Tutorials (i.e., sample applications)

I am currently on the job market.
