Profile
Biography
I obtained my PhD from Comenius University (Slovakia). Before moving to the United Kingdom, I worked as a statistician for research companies and held a teaching fellow position. I conducted my post-doctoral research at the University of Hertfordshire and King's College London. Before joining our department in 2015, I was briefly a lecturer at Kingston University. I am coordinating activities of the Antimicrobials: Behaviour and Cognition (ABC) Network, a network of researchers and other stakeholders interested in the role human behaviours play in spreading antimicrobial resistance (https://www.a-bc.network/). I serve on the editorial board of several journals (e..g, the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, Judgment and Decision-Making). I also serve as a member of the Study Selection Committee of the Psychological Science Accelerator, an international network of psychological laboratories across the world aiming to conduct large-scale pre-registered studies. My collaborators and I have secured over 20 grants, amounting to an overall value of over £3.6 million, from funders such as the British Academy, the National Institute for Health Research, Cancer Research UK, EU Horizon 2020, the Experimental Psychology Society, and the Leverhulme Trust.

Research and professional activities
Research interests
In my research, I am trying to understand how people judge, reason, and make decisions in situations of uncertainty.
My current research interests are centred on two key topics: (i) exploring the reasons and mechanisms behind why individuals do or do not correct their errors, and (ii) examining the psychology of human behaviours and cognition in relation to antimicrobial resistance.
Why people expect antibiotics even when not needed?
Risk and probability communication
Why people (do not) correct their own errors in judgments and reasoning (e.g., intuitive and deliberate errors, effect of feedback)
