About me
I'm a postdoctoral researcher studying the neural basis of decision-making under uncertainty.
My work spans experiment design, behavioral data analysis, and open-science practices - I publish data and code alongside papers.
I care about rigor, reproducibility, and findings that hold up outside the lab.
