I am interested in evolutionary approaches to understanding human behavior, particularly in the context of cost/benefit analysis and economic decision-making. My main focus is studying the evolution of cooperation and the cognitive/behavioral mechanisms underlying intertemporal choice using the tools of empirical psychology and evolutionary agent-based simulations.
