I just started as an assistant professor in the cognitive modeling group at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands). I obtained my PhD with Michael Kahana in the neuroscience program of the University of Pennsylvania, after having spent one year at Brandeis University. After that I did a postdoc with Jonathan Cohen at Princeton University.
I am interested in how you make decisions based on remembered information, and how we can use neural data to look at the dynamics of these decisions. I like to use mathematical models and techniques to better understand those very complicated data. A particular advantage of using computational models is that we can look at the mechanism through which a person is able to remember information and make decisions, rather than just comparing different task conditions.
