I am a senior researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) in Metascience and Information and Retrieval Services. My work focuses on researcher behavior and science mapping, using bibliometrics, natural language processing, and computational methods.

I'm a learning scientist, using formal modeling, experiments (in-lab and in the classroom), and survey data to better understand how and why we learn.

My ongoing research has focused on using computational models to better anticipate where, when, and how learning strategy and motivational interventions might be tailored for different individual, technological, and school contexts.

Through these efforts, I aim to develop the contextually rich intervention theory needed to support the creation of effective and equitable educational environments.

Trained by Leda Cosmides and John Tooby, the co-founders of evolutionary psychology, David uses principles of adaptationist thinking to address a range of psychological questions and phenomena.
Past and ongoing work includes establishing the psychological mechanisms producing racial categorization and responsible for representing multi-agent conflict.

New areas of work include exploring the psychology of psychology, including how evolutionary psychology can help us with moving beyond psychology's theory crisis, how it can inform long-standing issues in philosophy of mind such as debates about free will, and how it may allow us to better understand how our intuitive psychology interferes with our attempts to be scientific about the mind.
David is an assistant professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara, PI of the Cognitive Adaptation Lab, and an affiliate (and sometimes co-Director) of the Center for Evolutionary Psychology. He is also co-host of Evolutionary Psychology (the podcast).

Dr. Debrielle Jacques is an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Washington. Her research examines how and why parental psychopathology and addiction shapes distinct aspects of parenting. This includes parental cognitions (how parents think about parenting and children's behavior) and parental behavior (how parents interact with their children and navigate distinct parenting challenges and situations). I view parenting as a distinct developmental context through which parents' psychological challenges could dynamically alter children's mental health trajectories.

She also studies how children's psychological development and well-being are impacted by their parents' mental health and substance use problems. Within this topic, she examines how children's risk for and symptoms of psychopathology develop and change over time, and whether there are developmental consequences associated with outcomes that are typically viewed as adaptive or healthy (e.g., resilience).

I am a teaching-focused senior lecturer at the University of Glasgow in the UK. My passion is teaching psychology and open science. With open science practices forming an important cornerstone in the advancement of science, it has become increasingly evident that we should be incorporating these practices into the way that science is taught. Examples span from the educational practices that adopt inclusivity to developing team science for student research. My scholarship is centred on how we can incorporate the practices and philosophy of Open into our teaching, and current interests include inclusive assessment and effective use AI in teaching and assessment for both staff and students.
