Research Interests

How does the brain enable us to navigate our complex social and emotional lives? We are a cognitive and systems neuroscience laboratory dedicated to answering this question. One of our primary approaches is the study of motivation and cognition through the lens of reinforcement learning (RL)—the process of learning what actions are best from positive and/or negative feedback. Our major focus is the ‘explore-exploit tradeoff’ in RL: the everyday dilemma of choosing between familiar, guaranteed rewards (exploiting) and taking a risk on an unknown option that might yield a better outcome (exploring). We examine how the brain manages this critical balancing act:

Through a multimodal approach: We merge computational modeling with advanced functional neuroimaging (fMRI/MEG), non-invasive neurostimulation (TMS/tDCS), cross-species comparisons, and targeted patient studies.
Across the lifespan: We map neurodevelopmental trajectories from early adolescence through older adulthood to understand how decision-making evolves over time.
Across subjects and contexts: We evaluate how both neurologically healthy individuals and patients with brain disorders navigate these choices across social and non-social contexts.

Given the cross-disciplinary nature of our research program, the lab welcomes expressions of interest from students looking to pursue specialized training in COG-NEURO, CLIN, DEV, or SOC-PER.

Research Interests

My research program investigates how stress drives individual differences in disease vulnerability and resilience. Specifically, how diverse forms of stress (developmental, acute, chronic, or embedded in daily life) influence biological processes (endocrine, autonomic, immune, gene expression), psychological responses (cognitive, emotional), and mental and physical health outcomes. My interdisciplinary research integrates methods from psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and biology to examine the multifaceted effects of stress on downstream health processes in healthy, at-risk, and clinical populations.
