Research
My research focuses on the underpinnings of information seeking and decision making. To address research questions like “How do individuals decide whether to seek or avoid information?”, I use computational modelling and neuroimaging methods. More specifically, I utilise reinforcement learning frameworks to fit different parameters from human behavioural data and test the links between those parameters and personal traits, brain areas, and neurotransmitters. By doing so, we aim to support the development of intervention methods, including behavioural training and pharmacological treatment, to protect us from anxiety, depression, and mental health damage caused by the overwhelming modern world.
Before moving to Belgium, I studied at the University of Sheffield (UK), where I earned my Master’s in Systems Neuroscience, and at Beijing Technology and Business University (China), where I earned my Bachelor’s in Statistics.
