Sarah MORENO RODRIGUEZ

Hi! I am a PhD student under the co-supervision of Dr. Emmanuelle Volle and Dr. Alizée Lopez-Persem. 

I have a background in biology, an engineering degree from AgrosparisTech and a masters degree in cognitive neuroscience from the ENS. I started my PhD in 2021 and I will be graduating in October 2025.

My project focuses on decision-making applied to creativity. Using decision-making tasks, creativity tasks, fMRI and computational modeling, I aim at clarifying the process of creative thinking and answering the following questions: How do we decide which ideas to pursue and which to leave behind? How much do our personal preferences drive our choices?

Apart from my PhD project, I am also interested in teaching (I'm currently a tutor for Université Paris Cité) and science popularization (see here a short podcast recorded for La Semaine du Cerveau). Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to offer me something in these areas!
