Research Associate - Data Scientist - Psychologist

I am a Research Associate in a Portuguese university and a PhD in Psychology. I also provide consultancy for individuals, firms, universities, and government agencies at an international level. Although my background is in Social Psychology, I also have post-graduate studies in data science, including statistical analysis, programming, data mining, and machine learning. Additionally, through co-operation in research endeavors and projects, I have also acquired a great deal of knowledge in public policy, specifically in matters of science & technology and higher education. My unique combination of skills allows me to provide multidisciplinary data analysis services. My quantitative analysis are always coupled with qualitative interpretations, creating further robustness and leading to the creation of working theories and hypothesis.
