Postdoctoral Researcher, Princeton University
I have just begun a Postdoctoral Researcher position in the Daw Lab at Princeton Neuroscience Institute.
Before this, I received my Ph.D from the department of Experimental Psychology at University College London (UCL) in the Affective Brain Lab under the supervision of Tali Sharot. This explored how valence – whether a piece of news is good or bad – influences the extent to which information is integrated and used to revise beliefs about ourself, our future and the future of those around us.
Recently I have been pursuing a separate strand of research examining the role of emotional adaptation in decision making. I am excited to continue these areas of research and others at Princeton using a combination of complimentary approaches from computer science, behavioural economics and brain imaging.
