Research interests

My research interests focus primarily on understanding adaptive human cognition. I am interested in how people guide and control their behaviour in their interaction with rapidly changing environments. In particular, I am interested in the way that our brain organizes itself at a given moment allowing for optimization of future behaviour. I am also very interested in how these abilities are expressed on the individual level and how they develop across life span with a special focus on some patient populations, like in individuals with autism, dyslexia, and Parkinson's Disease.
