Research

My research focuses on understanding the dynamics of decision-making, motivation, fatigue, and stress and how these processes affect our performance and mental health. I use computational, statistical, and/or mathematical models to understand how these complex processes evolve and interact over time. I use this knowledge to help design work environments that promote happier, healthier, and more effective work.
