Skrócony biogram

I work as an Assistant Professor (adiunkt) at the Computational Social Sciences Unit at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFiS PAN), Warsaw, Poland. My main background is psychometrics and survey methodology and my research interest concentrates around the issue of measurement quality, especially identifying and mitigating the effects of response biases, such as careless/inattentive responding, response styles or social desirability responding. I often work with large-scale data, mainly from social surveys (such as ESS) or educational studies (PISA, PIAAC, TIMSS/PIRLS). Recently, I developed an interest in computer-based paradata (log data), which I use to identify response biases in social surveys and psychological assessments. In my research, I also employ machine learning techniques, including large language models, which I use for measurement tools development and improvement.
