I am a psychologist and licensed psychotherapist (behavior therapy) employed with the University of Siegen, Germany, and also the guy responsible for teaching statics in our BSc and MSc psychology programs. I happend upon missing data when I embarked on my diploma thesis in 2006 (well, who didn’t?) and got ensnarled in this fascinating topic ever since. My methodological research interests today (still) include missing data and multiple imputation, as well as robust multiple imputation procedures that can be applied, when parametric assumptions of standard imputation models are violated. I am furthermore interested in structural equation models for longitudinal data (mainly in latent growth curve models).
My non-methods related research focusses on – well it doesn’t really focus. I am interested in many different fields including criminology and various subdomains of clinical psychology. For an overview, see my publications. MI-related publications are listed here.
