Cassie - Psychological Methods and Statistics

I joined the OSIG when I started my postdoc position in the PMuS lab in January 2023, and became co-leader with Melanie in April 2023. My current ongoing projects for OSIG include organising an Open Science conference for the Faculty together with Melanie, and conducting a large-scale international survey to learn about and communicate the persistent barriers to open science faced by early career researchers and their perspectives on potential solutions. Open Science plays a major role in my research, particularly in the development and implementation of multiverse analysis to transparently report uncertainty in results due to various defensible data processing decisions, and I regularly give national and international workshops and presentations on this topic to scientists from different disciplines. In addition, I ensure that my teaching incorporates Open Science education. Students are the scientists of the future, and I believe we owe them an education that covers these important issues for the benefit of science as a whole.
 

Silvia - Neurophysiology of Everyday Life

Hi, I’m Silvia. I joined the OSIG in 2022, when I started my PhD in the Neurophysiology of Everyday Life Group. For me, Open Science means more than just open papers and materials. I firmly believe that open science must above all also mean intersectionality and inclusion, because only when all people are included in research is it truly open and meaningful for society. I was therefore involved in a project in which we optimized the automated collection of personal data to create participant codes so that they also include people outside heteronormative lifestyles.

 

Micha - Psychological Methods and Statistics

I'm Micha, and I joined the OSIG in 2024, shortly after starting my PhD in the Psychological Methods and Statistics Lab. With a more technical background, my main interests lie in open methods and code. My goal is to ensure that students and early career scientists gain the technical knowledge needed to conduct open, robust, and reproducible research. To facilitate this, I develop new and open teaching materials and, within the scope of OSIG, aim to offer seminars on topics related to open software, such as Git and Python.


 

Sumbul - Psychological Methods and Statistics and Cluster of Excellence Hearing4all

I'm Sumbul, and I joined the OSIG group in April 2024. I help Merle keep the OSIG website up-to-date and engaging. For me, Open Science is not just about accessibility; it also prioritizes ease of use. Scientific information becomes truly transparent and reproducible when collaborators can easily understand and engage with each other's work. I'm particularly interested in projects that simplify collaboration and enhance efficiency.



 

Wolf - Ambulatory Assessment in Psychology and Neuropsychology

I’m Wolf and I joined the OSIG group in April of 2024. I’m a PhD student and part of the Ambulatory Assessment Lab as well as the Neuropsychology Lab. To me, Open Science is an ideal that the scientific community should strive for to become basic and routine scientific practice in the future. Currently, I am interested in implementing Open Science practices into my own research and figuring out ways to make that process more straightforward.



 

Till - Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics - Communication Acoustics

Hi, I'm Till. I joined the OSIG group in 2024. I'm a PhD student in the Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, specifically in the Communication Acoustics Lab. I believe in transparency, openness, and accessibility in science. This allows researchers to easily reproduce and understand each other's work. I'm currently focusing on improving the transparency and understandability of my own research, particularly in terms of data management, code sharing, and documentation.
