Research:

• Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher at NeuroImage Nord, at the University Medical Clinic
  Hamburg-Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany, working with Prof. Christian Buechel.
  
  My doctoral research was conducted in the Psychology Department of Columbia University with
  Prof. Daphna Shohamy.
  
  I am particularly interested in the cognitive and neural systems underlying learning and decision making. Links: Shohamy Learning Lab, Columbia Psychology
