Overview Research Education Contact
I'm a professor of research methodology and data analytics, and head of the section CODE, which stands for Cognition, Data and Education, at the BMS faculty. Together with other BMS data enthusiasts, I run the Behavioural Data Science Incubator . We can support you in everything related to Data Science: developing new ways to measure, collect harmonise, and analyse data.

With a background in psychology, I'm particularly interested in behaviour.

Larsen, R., Buss, D., Wismeijer, A., Song, J. & van den Berg, S. M. Research profiles Together with an enthusiastic team I'm involved in redesigning the data analytical courses of BMS bachelor programmes. Our starting point is the linear model, facilitated by a textbook I've written. In addition, we have been using R as the main statistical software to first-year students since academic year 2020-2021. Currently I teach Academic Writing and Advanced Research Methods, and I am involved in Life Long Learning activities around the topic of AI. I supervise students working on their bachelor, master and PhD theses.
Affiliated study programs Courses academic year 2025/2026 Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
