Lion assists Rens in the construction of material that familiarises students with Bayesian Statistics using software packages like Mplus, RJags or RShiny. Additionally, he is tutoring a summer school on MPLUS.

In his Master's thesis, he develops a method that allows researchers to evaluate informative hypotheses using Bayes Factors while combining multiple studies at once.

Lion is funded by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.
