I am a PhD student at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, co-supervised by Peter Dayan and Stefanie Liebe.

My previous work investigated the behavioral and neural representations of human cooperative dynamics using simultaneous intracranial EEG recordings (2024). My current research focuses on understanding human decision-making from a distributional coding perspective, combining reinforcement learning models together with human intracranial recordings.

More broadly, I am interested in how humans learn, build, and deploy structured knowledge, and in the interactions with memory and decision-making processes. Leveraging intracranial recordings, I aim to uncover how computational principles of decision-making are implemented at both cellular and population levels.
