Tasked with researching and creating bespoke analysis methods
to monitor, predict and forecast changes in Multiple Sclerosis
(MS) based on data derived from smartphones. Inspiration for
these approaches has come from complex systems science (e.g.
Recurrence Quantification Analysis), optimal control theory (e.g.
Licitra et al., 2018), electrical engineering (e.g.
Single Input Single Output systems), and neuroscience (e.g.
Subtype and Stage Inference).

Neurocast
Duration - 2yr [2021 to present]
Location - Amsterdam, Netherlands
The main data scientist assigned to conduct analyses in
collaboration with the Amsterdam University medical center.
This collaboration, intended to validate the use of smartphone
interactions as a means to monitor and predict Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) outcomes, led to
a cross sectional journal article,
a responsiveness journal article, and
a longitudinal journal article.

Location - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Created a
machine learning workflow
and conducted an assortment of machine learning analyses (SVM,
Random Forests, Multilayer Perceptron etc.) to predict MS
outcome measures using keystroke data. These analyses were all
internal but an example of an approach similar to what was
done may be found
here.

Applied nonlinear time series analyses - specifically dynamic
complexity to keystroke dynamics in order to match
fluctuations in the keystroke data with clinically relevant
changes in outcome measures. This culminated in the following
journal article:
Twose et al,
2020. Also looked into the use of Mixed Effects Random Forests to
predict MS outcomes whilst taking into account the
hierarchical nature of clinical data and still applying a
nonlinear approach (in contrast to Linear Mixed Models).

Maizena – Chair (2017 – 2018)
Elected to chair the student association for the Behaviour
Science Master at Radboud University
UCR CogniCo – Founder and Chair (2014 – 2015)
Created a student group (now called) ‘UCR CogniCo’ to explore
Cognitive Science with fellow students organising lectures,
brain dissections and revision sessions.
UCRadio – Chair (2015)
Elected chair of UCR radio, which was ineffective. Leading a
small team, we re-invigorated it, brought in a new structure
and created content for it.
Cultureweek – Secretary (2015)
Cultureweek is a week dedicated to bridging the gap between
the student population and the general population of
Middelburg, by celebrating the differences between the two. As
secretary I was pivotal in its organisation.
Housing Affairs Council (HAC) – Campus Elder (2013 – 2014)
The HAC is a student organisation that is the intermediary
between the student population and the UCR housing
association. As Campus Elder, I was responsible for the daily
functioning and dealing with any problems that arose in one of
the three major campus locations.

producing my own works as well as in collaboration with other
musicians.
Vocaholics – Co founder (2013 – 2015)
Created an Acapella group (with a fellow student) at
University College Roosevelt (UCR), arranging weekly practice
sessions and local performances for UCR and the Municipality.
