This page houses my list of publications and is always up to date. Published work and submitted manuscripts will be added on a rolling basis. The interested reader is also referred to my osf account for the most up-to-date data and projects. As soon as pre- and/or postprints are available, they will be linked to this page and uploaded to my ResearchGate account.
