I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Cognitive and Decision Sciences at the University of Basel in Switzerland. As a research psychologist in the area of decision science, I study how and why humans differ in their choices compared to others. I have a special interest in risk- and impulsivity related decisions, which we encounter in both day-to-day contexts but which also play a crucial role in clinical and legal contexts.


Interested in using innovative methodological approaches to analyse age effects on risk preference and related constructs? Check out our preprint using Specification Curve Analysis.

Interested in predicting clinical outcomes from brain structure? Check out our recent PNAS paper.

Interested in improving how we analyse neuroimaging data? Check out our many-analysts Nature paper.
