About
B.S. in Psychology from the School of Psychology at the National Autonomous University of México (UNAM), with a Specialty in Applied Statistics (from the Research Institute of Applied Mathematics and Systems at the UNAM).
My main research interest revolves around the study of intertemporal choice, especially in terms of the application and development of attribute-based models. However, right now I'm working in applying Behavioral Sciences to relevant social problems.
In a much broader sense, I'm interested in decision models and learning models, Bayesian cognitive modeling, data analysis, among other topics. Check out my cv to see more information about what I'm doing right now. Cheers!
