Profile Summary

I am a Ph.D.-level behavioral scientist with 10+ years of experience in experimental psychology, computational modeling, and advanced data analysis. I completed postdoctoral positions at the Hebrew University and McGill University, focusing on motivation, cognitive effort, and statistical modeling of behavioral data. My expertise includes power analysis, mixed-effects models, reinforcement learning frameworks, and the design of cognitive and affective experiments. I am proficient in R, Python, and MATLAB, and regularly consult on scientific figure generation, data visualization, and research design for publications and grant submissions. I’ve supported research teams, startups, and academic labs with customized analyses, clear communication, and fast delivery of publication-ready results. Whether you're designing a new study, analyzing complex data, or refining a manuscript, I bring both technical depth and psychological insight.
