About the author
Mark Andrews (PhD) is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology in Nottingham Trent University. There, he specializes in teaching statistics and data science at all levels from undergraduate to PhD level. Currently, he is the Chair of the British Psychological Society’s Mathematics, Statistics, and Computing section. Between 2015 and 2018, Dr Andrews was funded by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to provide advanced training workshop on Bayesian data analysis to UK based researchers at PhD level and beyond in the social sciences. Dr Andrews’s background is in computational cognitive science, particularly focused Bayesian models of human cognition. He has a PhD in Cognitive Science from Cornell University, and was a postdoctoral researcher in the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit in UCL and also in the Department of Psychology in UCL.
