Florian Bolenz is a psychologist and cognitive scientist. He studies human decision making using behavioral experiments, computational modeling and machine learning. At SCIoI, he investigates how humans select between different strategies when making decisions under risk (Project 22). Florian received his PhD at Technische Universität Dresden where he did research on lifespan age difference in the dynamic adaptation of reinforcement-learning strategies.
