Psychology, Emotion, fMRI, multivariate pattern analysis

I am a PhD student in the affective science area of the Psychology Department working with Brian Knutson and Jeanne Tsai. My current research applies machine learning methods to neuroimaging data to study how monetary and social rewards are represented in the brain and if such representations generalize across cultures. I am broadly interested in emotion, motivation, decision-making and culture. I received BS degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Simon Fraser University in Canada, and worked in clinical psychology labs at UC Davis and UCLA studying psychosis and addiction.
