Huw Jarvis, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Twitter @huwbris
Huw received a BMedSc with first class Honours from the University of Tasmania in 2012, and a Masters of Public Health from the University of Melbourne in 2015. His Honours project investigated the role of neurofilament in resisting diffuse axonal injury. Huw’s interest in public health led him to roles in health policy, including internships at the Grattan Institute (Melbourne) and the World Health Organization headquarters (Geneva). He began his PhD after working in research translation and clinical guideline development at the NHMRC. His current research focuses on characterising the computational and neurobiological interactions between motivation and reinforcement learning. Huw's PhD has been supported by the Rebecca L Cooper Medical Research Foundation. |

Jeryl Lim, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Jeryl is a postdoctoral research fellow whose research focuses on cognitive models of decision-making. His work examines how people make choices under uncertainty, with an emphasis on formal modelling approaches that link behaviour to underlying cognitive processes. More broadly, he is interested in using quantitative methods to better understand the mechanisms that shape human judgment, learning, and decision behaviour. |
