Nuno Busch started his doctorate at the Chair of Behavioral Research Methods in December 2023. Previously, he studied Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience and obtained a Master of Science at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and a Bachelor of Science at the University of Heidelberg. During his previous research stays at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, the LMU and the University of Lausanne, Nuno conducted research on neurocognitive mechanisms underlying cognitive abilities such as memory, attention and cognitive control.
Since February 2024, Sebastian Hellmann has been a postdoc at our department. Previously, Sebastian worked as a research assistant and doctoral student at the Chair of General Psychology II at the KU Eichstätt between 2020 and 2024. During his PhD, he studied confidence experience in perceptual decisions. He uses computational mathematical modeling to describe the relationship between stimulus properties, reaction times and confidence experience.
Alexandra Ortmann joined the team as postdoc in June 2024. Between 2019 and 2024, she completed her Ph.D. in Cognitive Science at Stony Brook University (NY, USA). Alexandra researches how people make decisions in social situations. In her previous projects, for example, she investigated social learning and inference processes in complex decision-making situations, simulated computational agents to understand exploratory decision-making behavior in the gain and loss domain, and further developed methods in collaborative memory research.
