STEVE AICHELE
I'm a doctoral student in Quantitative Psychology at the University of California, Davis. My areas of focus are longitudinal data mining, structural equation modeling, factor analysis, and related topics. I'm currently applying these analytical methods to data from two research initiatives: The Shamatha Project (a study of the psychophysiological effects of intensive meditation practice) and Savanas Forever Tanzania (an effort to improve HIV/AIDS interventions in rural Africa).
