Bio

I am interested in the cognitive underpinnings of collaboration in humans under varying levels of uncertainty. My work has addressed questions about joint action planning and information search using behavioral studies in adult and developmental populations, which I aim to complement with computational modeling to gain a better understanding of what makes us humans so proficient in collaborating with each other (and what might make us fail sometimes). Before joining the HMC-lab, I completed my PhD at the Central European University in Budapest where I investigated how agents minimize their shared action-related costs in joint actions, and I did a postdoc on active learning in children at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Technical University of Munich.
