My name is Wouter Kool and I am a graduate student in psychology. As a postdoc starting this summer! My research focuses on issues that lie at the intersection of the science on cognitive control and decision making. Our experiments explore the idea that people have an intrinsic tendency to avoid the exertion of mental effort, i. , an intrinsic decision-making cost of cognitive control.

I am a machine learning researcher, specialising in the foundations of learning and sequential decision making. I have a background in computer science and artificial intelligence and I am a Master of Logic. I work at the Centrum Wiskunde and Informatica. In Amsterdam with Peter D. Learning at the Intrinsic Task Pace. Is funded by a NWO VENI grant.
