My main area of
interest are the methods for studying how individuals change over time.
For my master thesis in psychology at the Humboldt University of Berlin I
introduced LASSO regularization to dynamic panel models. The objective
was to improve the generalizability of models built in small samples.
As
a doctoral student I will continue this research with the team of
Manuel Völkle. Building on my previous work I want to expand LASSO
regularization to network models built within the continuous time
framework. This could provide new insight in the dynamics of change over
time.
