I am interested in how human intelligence and perception emerge from dynamic brain processes, focusing on how we flexibly integrate ambiguous information. To do so, I combine neurophysiological measures, brain stimulation, and computational modeling  to probe and model the mechanisms that underlie creativity, emotion, and adaptive cognition.

Research interests

I am interested in understanding learning and decision-making under uncertainty, particularly in the context of the explore–exploit trade off (i.e., how individuals balance between reward seeking and information seeking). My current work focuses on how these mechanisms are altered across different dimensions of anxiety. To study this, I use computational approaches including modelling choice behaviour using reinforcement learning (RL) or active inference (AInf) models or modelling reaction times using drift diffusion models (DDM). These models provide mechanistic insights underlying behaviour as well as accounting for differences between individuals. Finally, I investigate the neural mechanisms by linking these measures to EEG or pupillometry data.
