Ruam Pimentel

I earned a Ph.D. in Psychology, with a concentration in Experimental Psychology and a minor in Quantitative Psychology, from the University of Toledo (U.S.) working with Dr. Gregory J Meyer. I also have Master’s in Psychology focused on Psychological Assessment from Universidade São Francisco (Brazil). I am a specialist in neuroscience from the Federal University of São Paulo (Brazil), with expertise in data science, psychometrics, meta-analysis, and multimethod approaches. For the past five years, I served as a Research Associate for R-PAS, coordinating Normative Data Collection, managing and analyzing data for projects related to the second edition of R-PAS, and creating educational resources for R-PAS users. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at R-PAS, where I continue to develop my previous roles. I am passionate about personality, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. My research explores how different psychological measures can provide information about oneself (multimethod) and how different mental states can shape distinct perceptions of reality. Recently, I've been trying to connect empirical research and applied innovation, including recent studies validating AI-based approaches to psychological assessment.
