Current work
Head-direction circuit dynamics — 2025–present
Sorbonne Université, ISIR — Supervisor: Dr. Heike Stein
Modeling the dynamics of head-direction neurons using Gaussian Process state-space and dynamical models. The goal is to infer ring-attractor structure from neural population recordings without assuming a specific mechanistic model.
Knowledge transmission via teaching — 2024–2025
ENS-PSL, Human Reinforcement Learning Lab — Supervisor: Dr. Stefano Palminteri
Designed and ran an online behavioral experiment (n = 50) to study how people transmit rule knowledge through teaching. Computational modeling of policy transfer between teacher and learner in a deterministic contextual bandit task.
Pavlovian-instrumental interactions and social learning — 2021–2024
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Crowd Cognition Group — Co-supervisors: Dr. Bahador Bahrami, Prof. Ophelia Deroy
Behavioral and computational work on Pavlovian-instrumental interactions (Go/NoGo), goal-directed versus habitual control in social decision-making, and real-time eye-tracking pipelines for interactive environments.
