B.Sc. Moritz Braun

With a background in a variety of academic disciplines (psychology, philosophy, mathematics, and medicine), I combine rigorous empirical and thorough conceptual work to study free will, volitional actions, and decision-making. I am interested in the philosophical foundations of psychology as well as statistical methods, their foundations and the associated meta-theories. I am passionate about interdisciplinary science and fascinated by research that is situated at the intersections of the traditional disciplines.
