Welcome
I am a postdoctoral research assoctiate in the Frontal Lobe Functions Group, which is part of the Inserm Team of the Laboratoire de Neurosciences Cognitives (U960) in the Départment d'Etudes Cognitives (DEC) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, France. Currently, I am working with Etienne Koechlin on decision making in a structured and volatile world, using methods of statistical machine learning to formulate ideal observer models and approximations thereof. Performance of these models is compared to human decision making and provides information about which strategies humans might use to make these decisions.
I was previously in the lab of Alexandre Pouget in the Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester, working on strategies of perceptual decision making and their neural implementation in the form of neural population codes. Before that I have completed my PhD in the Department of Computer Science with Alwyn Barry at the University of Bath, UK, studying Learning Classifier Systems from the perspective of probabilistic machine learning. My undergraduate degree was a BSc in Intelligent Systems at the Department of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, UK. Before that I spent 4 years at the Graz University of Technology, Austria, studying Architecture.
I currently collaborate with Alexandre Pouget, Rubén Moreno Bote, Dora Angelaki, Greg DeAngelis, and Mike Shadlen on various projects concerning perceptual decision making.
