Uses

Academic writing

  • Current academic writing is primarily done in Quarto and rendered in MS Word for feedback.
  • I wrote my PhD dissertation in R Markdown using the oxforddown R template created by Ulrik Lyng’s.
  • For the LaTeX installation, I used TinyTex.
  • Depending on my co-authors’ familiarity with technical tools, I share outputs via Overleaf or Microsoft Word.
  • Like many others, I find working in Word and other Microsoft tools challenging, but I adapt as needed.

Data curation

  • I currently curate data in Databricks or within RStudio using tidyverse and sparklyr.
  • I often work with legacy code written in Stata, translating it into the tidyverse where possible.
  • That said, I wish I were 1% comfortable in Stata! Please do not get me started!

Web

  • I built this website with Quarto.
  • The Selected publications section uses code adapted from Andrew Heiss’s Quarto website.
  • The Research haikus idea was also inspired by Andrew Heiss’s web page. I let Copilot handle the haikus.
  • I regularly push all my work from this environment to GitHub.
