## Cédric Batailler

### Who am I?

With a PhD in social psychology, I am fascinated by the human behavior and by how statistics help us understand it. My missions, as a researcher with more than five years of experience, involve formalizing problems, designing experimental studies, building metrics, and disseminating the conclusions through lab meetings, international conferences, or scientific publications. I have strong affinity with coding, statistics, and problem-solving.

In addition to research work, I like to put my skills to use by teaching, whether it is about social psychology, statistics, or methodology in the social sciences. So far, I worked with psychology students and future education professionals, from bachelor to master level.

### Research interset

#### Development of preferences

Sometimes, people react to the objects in their environment in a spontaneous manner; psychologists built metrics out of these behabioral responses to help them understanding human preferences. During my PhD, I have been focusing on the contribution of repeted experience in the development of these spontaneous behaviors.

#### Statistical modelling

In addition to these substantive research interests, I am also interested in the advances in statistical modelling, with two objectives in mind: assessing the validity of statistical methods and making robust methods more accessible. In this context, I have been developping R package such as the JSmediation package and help made some statistical methods more accessible.
