Graduate Student
k.sokratous@ufl.edu
Konstantina Sokratous is a fourth-year graduate student in the Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience area, working with Dr. Peter Kvam. She received a UF Informatics Institute Graduate Fellowship to develop machine learning approaches to model fitting, model comparison, exploratory model building, and has been working on projects related to modeling anticipatory decision-making and timing, pricing of delayed prospects, and decisions among alternatives that change over time.
Abhay Alaukik (CV)
Abhay is a fourth-year doctoral student in the Social Psychology area being co-mentored by Dr. Colin Smith and Dr. Peter Kvam. He received a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Kansas before starting his PhD journey in the Cognition and Decision Modeling Lab. He is broadly interested in political/moral psychology, statistical modeling, and quantitative methods. In his current project in the lab, he is exploring how information gets polarized as a function of the kind of task people are assigned (for example, choice vs. estimation tasks) using simulations, agent-based modeling and empirical studies.
Anderson Fitch
Anderson Fitch is a third-year doctoral student in the Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience area, working with Dr. Peter Kvam. He received his B.S. in Psychology from Kansas State University in 2021 and his M.S. in Psychology from the University of Florida in 2023. He is interested in modeling risky and impulsive choices and their connection to large-scale issues such as climate change. His other interests include timing, cooperation, virtual reality in research, and technologically assisted interventions.
