I am a psychologist interested in computational modeling and experimental investigation of the life span development of decision making abilities.
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and University of Lisbon. You can find below some representative publications and see my CV for more information about my work. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
