Dr Arkady Konovalov MA, PhD

Dr Arkady Konovalov

School of Psychology
Associate Professor

Arkady Konovalov is a neuroeconomist interested in studying individual and social decision making using models of the choice process and value-based learning, applying methods of computational neuroscience such as response times modeling, fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking, and mouse-tracking.

Qualifications

PhD in Economics, The Ohio State University

MA in Economics, The Ohio State University

Biography

Arkady Konovalov obtained his MA and PhD degrees from the Ohio State University, where he received training in behavioral economics and cognitive psychology, working with Ian Krajbich, PJ Healy, and John Kagel. He then completed his postdoctoral training in decision neuroscience with Christian Ruff at the University of Zurich.
