Position
Senior Researcher
Research Interests
I have wide interests within computational biology, spanning from evolutionary theory, computational neuroscience, and neuroeconomics, through to physiology, ecology, and ethology.
The questions that preoccupy me pertain to the origins of reward value. Where do reward values come from? How are they configured evolutionarily, physiologically, and neurobiologically?
I employ a range of approaches from computational modelling, functional neuroimaging, behavioral and physiological experiments.
