Join the Lab
We are hiring at all levels!
The projects in our group involve integrating methods from reinforcement learning, dynamical systems, and AI to identify computational, algorithmic, and neural mechanisms underlying adaptive decision making during foraging. For this purpose, we also work in close collaboration with multiple experimental labs to design novel, comparable foraging tasks across different species, including C. elegans, zebrafish, and mice, complemented by targeted human experiments conducted in our group.
