Bio
I’m a cognitive scientist studying the mechanisms of adaptivity — how individuals and collectives respond to disruption, reorganize, and sometimes even flourish.
Drawing from enactivism, complex systems theory, and my own lived experience, I investigate adaptive processes across scales: from post-traumatic growth in individuals to coordination dynamics in human and human-AI collectives.
My current work explores collective reward learning in human groups.
Research areas: Embodied cognition, collective behavior, joint action, mechanistic explanation.
Methods: Conceptual analysis, formal modeling, behavioral experiments.

The ouroboros featured on this site represents collective self-maintenance — the way a set of small, individual elements can collectively organize to maintain a stable whole. This is a central theme of my research on adaptivity and enactivism.
