I study how people adaptively make inferences and decisions in our highly complex and uncertain social world. Using a computational psychiatry approach, my research also examines how these social learning mechanisms diverge in people with anxiety and depression who may be particularly impacted by uncertainty and social feedback. To investigate this space, my research combines economic decision-making tasks with fMRI, psychophysiology, Reinforcement Learning, and Bayesian inference algorithms.
In my off time, I’m thinking and writing about our relationship with AI and technology which is increasingly shaping our social landscape and mental health.
