How teaching is described

Dual guidance

Two intelligences. One coherent journey.

Research leadership

I am a psychologist who believes that the human mind is the most complex system we will ever study. My work focuses on understanding human behavior, from the neural basis of thought to the social dynamics of groups, using a data-driven, scientific approach.

Applied mentorship

I am a data modeler who is passionate about using mathematical principles to solve real-world problems. My mentorship is focused on helping students bridge the gap between abstract theory and practical application, preparing them for a successful career in data science and operations research.
