About Me
I am a professor in the School of Psychology at IE University in Segovia, Spain. IE University is affiliated with IE Business School in Madrid.
Research. In my research, I study the cognitive and computational bases of human decision making with a focus on understanding individual differences in decision making under risk and uncertainty.
Teaching. I have been actively involved in teaching from the outset of academic career. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach in a number of areas including management, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and artificial intelligence.
Experience. Prior to pursuing an academic career, I was a founder and senior manager in two technology-based startups in New York City (Brainstorm Interactive, and HR One), and I served as a management consultant with McKinsey & Company in Chicago.
Education. I completed interdiscplinary doctoral studies at the University of Michigan under the guidance of Dr. Thad Polk. My doctoral work combined Psychology (Cognition & Cognitive Neuroscience) and Computer Science (Intelligent Systems). I also hold Masters degrees in Management (M.I.T. Sloan) and in Technology Policy (M.I.T. TPP) and a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering (Brown University).
