Personal profile
Research interests
My current research is focused in understanding more about how people compute and use information about uncertainty when making decisions in various contexts, ranging from simple perceptual decisions to financial or medical decisions. I use both behavioural experiments and formal tools to identify the strategies that people use to deal with the uncertainty with the goal of improving our ability to explain and predict human behaviour. See my personal page for more information.
