Dominik Straub
I’m a postdoc in the Computational and Biological Learning lab at the University of Cambridge, working with Máté Lengyel. Prior to that, I did my PhD with Constantin Rothkopf at the Centre for Cognitive Science, TU Darmstadt.
My work is focused on probabilistic models of perception and action in naturalistic sequential tasks. To understand the uncertainties, intrinsic costs of behavior, and subjective internal models involved in these tasks, I develop and apply computational modeling techniques including inverse optimal control and Bayesian inference.
