As a part of the CMDM Lab (PI: Prof. Dr. Sebastian Gluth), I work as a data collection and research assistant. This role involves in instructing and accompanying participants who volunteer to join in decision making studies. In addition, I organize the flow of the testing sessions. After the final part of data collection, I will also take over data analysis. In close collaboration with the lab manager, I also develop guides to make integration of the newly employed people run more smoothly. This lab is the most international and multi-cultural lab of the psychology department, which improves my working and collaboration style and helped me implement the previously learned skills in the LMoC Lab.
