M.A. Pooja Kulkarni

I'm interested in exploring how the environment can influence self-regulation and how context sensitive deployment of self-regulatory strategies can be adaptive. Methods such as ESM/EMA and experiments are most interesting for me when exploring these variables. I advocate for accessible science and subscribe to open science practices.
