About me

Hi! I'm Ionatan, a postdoc at Princeton working with Tom Griffiths. I study how people make decisions and plan sequences of actions in complex environments by building computational models of human behavior.

Previously, I earned my Ph.D. in neuroscience at NYU with Wei Ji Ma and my B.A. in neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics at Macalester College. My undergraduate honors thesis was advised by Andrew Beveridge. In my free time, I'm usually traveling or hiking for landscape photography, hosting an anime podcast, or playing soccer, basketball, or tennis.

My dissertation outlined a framework for studying the cognitive mechanisms underlying complex planning by applying computational methods to human decisions in a combinatorial game where participants think multiple steps into the future.
