About
Overview
I work on learning, inference and decision-making - across a wide range of domains. For an overview please head over to my personal webpage (www.andreasjarvstad.com).
I teach first year stats (PS1007) and MSc courses related to Cognitive Neuroscience.
I'm happy to hear from students who are interested in related MSc projects and/or pursuing a PhD.
