Ottavia M. Epifania, PhD
Researcher in Tenure Track in Psychometrics
Psicostat Core Team
I am a tenure-track researcher in psychometrics at the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science of the University of Trento, in Rovereto.
I work on latent variable models, mostly Item Response Theory: how to shorten a test without losing what it measures, how to generate test items automatically, and how to model accuracy and response times in implicit measures. Most of this ends up as R packages and Shiny apps, so that other people can use it too.
I am part of the core team of Psicostat and an Academic Editor at PeerJ.
The horror persists, and so do I.
