About me

My name is Leonhard Reiter, but most people just call me Lenni1. I am a PhD student and pre-doctoral researcher in Marketing Management at the University of Vienna. My advisor is Christoph Fuchs.

I am interested in how people engage, evaluate and interact with new technologies, ranging from algorithms to vaccines. I am also interested in more meta-scientific topics such as research synthesis, publication bias, and how to improve science as a whole. My research has been featured in popular media such as the Forbes magazine. I strongly advocate for open-science and especially reproducible workflows. Check out my OSF to see more.

My work is heavily quantitative and I love doing and reading about statistics. I am interested in meta-analysis, mixed effects models, machine learning, and text as data. Check out my Github to see what book I am currently working through.

Before starting my PhD, I studied psychology at the University of Vienna (M.Sc.) and worked as a student assistant in Robert Böhm’s team. There I helped with research, such as creating surveys and analyzing data.

I did an internship in Susann Fiedler’s group at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, where I prepared a bachelor course on publication bias detection methods like p/z-curves in management research.

Besides science, I am an avid martial artist (Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), I like to cook, play bass and take long walks in the Augarten.

If you want to talk about statistics, science in general, or collaborate on a project, feel free to drop me a line via mail.
