Welcome!
I am a Postdoctoral fellow at Institute of Psychology, University of Osnabrück, Germany. I defended my Ph.D. on October 12, 2023, at the Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience Lab within the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, specialising in the Psychology discipline at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Mumbai, India.
I earned my M.Sc. in Cognitive Science from the Center of Behavioural and Cognitive Science (CBCS) at the University of Allahabad in 2017. Prior to that, I completed my B.Sc. in Mathematics at Bareilly College, Bareilly, in 2015.
My research interests continue to evolve, encompassing a wide range of topics within Cognitive Science. I'm particularly intrigued by areas such as emotions, cognitive control, mass psychology, computational social cognition, applications of machine learning, and meta-science.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at shubham.cogsci@gmail.com
