Project Overview

Join a groundbreaking research initiative investigating how personal networks shape responses to compound natural hazard risks. Consecutive disasters—such as sequential floods or cyclones followed by heavy rainfall—are becoming more frequent and disruptive in Australia. While infrastructure and early-warning systems are vital, people’s personal networks—the informal and formal social ties that connect us—are among the most powerful, yet least understood, tools for building resilience.

piecemeal: an R package for wrangling large simulations

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

After having to set up yet another simulation study in which some replications and treatments result in an error, the total runtime is not completely predictable, etc., I wrote an R package that implements my usual tricks for managing such simulations in a concise and user-friendly manner.

If you have to deal with simulations with large numbers of treatment combinations and/or replications on a shared computing cluster, give it a try.

New Year, New Site!

After more than 3 years of neglecting my personal site, I bit the bullet and transitioned from Webgen to Hugo.

Some design ideas were appropriated from Michał Bojanowski’s personal web site.

A big thank you to everybody who provided feedback on earlier versions!
