About
I was a research associate with Brad Love at University College London (UCL; from 2018 to 2021). During my PhD, I worked under the supervision of Brad Love and Tali Sharot also at UCL. Previous collaborations also include Benedetto De Martino and Cass Sunstein. I have worked on various different topics such as heuristics and biases in decision-making as well as on models of similarity for neuroimaging data and electro-physiological data. Other efforts include linking decision heuristics to principled statistical models and analysis of fMRI data related to subjective value and confidence. I currently work for OnCorps as Director of Machine Learning.
