Bio
Ondřej has completed his PhD at Oxford Univeristy during which he investigated computational and neural mechanisms of aversive learning in humans. He then moved on to a PostDoc role at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, where he worked on cognitive mechanisms of learning under uncertainty in mental health conditions such as anxiety or eating disorders. After holding a dual position between Bielefeld University and Karolinska Institute, Sweden, Ondřej was offered an assistant professorship at the University College Dublin, Ireland. His main research interests focus on understanding how we navigate and tolerate uncertainty in everyday decisions, and how inability to tolerate uncertainty can drive psychopathology.
