If you are interested in using computational cognitive models to study learning and decision making, abstraction, or representation learning, please reach out. I am always open to mentoring passionate and motivated students.

Resources
I have given RL lectures at various summer schools, e.g., BAMB, IICCSSS, and TrendforAfrica. Slides for these lectures can be found here.
If you are interested in getting your hands dirty, take a look at my python tutorials! I made one that walks you through fitting simple Reinforcement Learning (RL) models and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to human data, which you can find here. And Kim Stachenfeld, Kevin Miller, and I gave a Keynote and Tutorial at CCN, where we used this excellent notebook.
