Research Interests

My research interest is focused on the role of neurotransmitters (especially serotonin) on cognitive processes such as value-based decision-making. Furthermore, I am interested in the functional organization of the brain, and how the underlying genetics shape the brain structure. To pursue this goal, several methods such as behavioural tasks, tryptophan interventions, genetic markers, and imaging techniques (fMRI, DWI, resting-state) are employed.
