Thrilled to speak at JCSG25 this week! I’ll share work on adaptive intelligence and agency at the intersection of computational modeling, neuroscience, and psychiatry. 🧠 Would love to meet colleagues exploring similar questions! 🙂 #AdaptiveIntelligence #CompModel #Neuroscience #AgencyAndControl

Gearshift Fellowship: A Next-Generation Neurocomputational Game Platform to Model and Train Human-AI Adaptability How do we learn when to persist, when to let go, and when to shift gears? Gearshift Fellowship (GF) is the prototype of a new Supertask paradigm designed to model how humans and artificial agents adap...

I am hiring for RA, PhD, and postdoc positions. Come work with me on how we use simplified models of the world to plan in complex environments!

University of Arizona is located in Tucson with incredible access to the outdoors.

If you are interested, reach out to me! (2/2)

How do we decide when to switch gears - when surrounded by uncertainty and control loss?
