I am a PhD candidate studying how contextual factors modulate decision-making using computational models. Stemming from the ideas of bounded rationality and the somatic marker hypothesis, I aim to pinpoint the mechanisms that underlie the changes in how we decide when integrating external information that is not related to the decision per se. My work is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theory from cognitive psychology and neuroscience that I implement with computational and statistical methods. As my overarching personal and professional philosophy is rooted in curiosity, I also devote time to learn new skills, which has crystallized in side-projects and escapades.
