My research interest is in social cognitive neuroscience and neuroeconomics. I use computational modeling and functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques, to investigate brain mechanisms of emotional decision-making in human including facial expression recognition, face preference decision, and reward/punishment-based learning. At caltech, I am workng as a postdoctoral scholar with Ralph Adolphs, John O'Doherty, and Shinsuke Shimojo.
