Charlotte Entwistle

I have BSc (University of Liverpool) and MRes (University of Manchester) degrees in Psychology, and was awarded a PhD in Psychology at Lancaster University in January 2024. I am currently a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow in the Psychology Department at University of Liverpool, funded by Leverhulme Trust on an independent research fellowship. Within the Psychology Department, I am based in both the Lifespan, Health, and Wellbeing and Applied Forensic and Conflict Psychology research groups.

My research falls under the domain of computational social science and behavioural analytics, wherein I apply computational methods and analytic techniques to social science domains, typically Clinical, Health, Social, Personality, & Forensic Psychology. More specifically, my work often involves using computational language analysis (i.e., Natural Language Processing; NLP) to understand motivations, behaviour, and psychological and social processes. My current research is focused on applying computational behavioural analytic methods to the study of personality, health behaviour (adaptive and maladaptive), identity, social processes, psychopathology, suicide and self-harm, and emotion.

Specialisations include: computational social science; behavioural science; personality & individual differences; physical & mental health; identity; social processes; emotion; analysis of social media & digital footprint data; natural language processing; narrativity/narrative analysis; large-scale data cleaning; quantitative & qualitative data analysis; data visualisation; R & Python.
