I am broadly interested in the many ways in which what we already know affect the way we interact with the world. We rely on our previous knowledge to interpret what we see, which in turn is susceptible to biases emanating from our pre-dispositions. I am mostly interested in the neural mechanisms giving rise to such biased processing. My research spans various phenomena across cognitive and social domains, including episodic memory formation and consolidation, meta-cognition, impression formation, attitudes, conformity, and distinctive processing.

In my more recent research I am particularly interested in the role the neural reward circuitry plays in establishing and reinforcing social norms. Utilizing fMRI, reinforcement learning theories and behavioral methods I hope to reveal the fundamental mechanisms that govern personal level as well as society level interactions.
