Farhad Aghayev

I am a PhD researcher at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh. My research centres on executive functions, the cognitive processes that govern planning, decision-making, and goal-directed behaviour. I develop computational models and behavioural paradigms to quantitatively measure and understand these capacities in humans.

I am supervised by Prof. Subramanian Ramamoorthy and Prof. Thusha Rajendran, and am part of the Centre for AI in Assistive Autonomy. My work brings together cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and machine learning, with the aim of grounding AI research in how human cognition actually works.
