Kamil Fulawka

Kamil Fulawka is a Visiting Researcher and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Adaptive Rationality, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin, where he has conducted research since November 2021. His work bridges experimental psychology and computational modeling to investigate human decision-making mechanisms.

His academic background includes:

• Ph.D. in Psychology from SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities (2015-2020)
• M.A. in Psychology from SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities (2011-2016)

Fulawka specializes in affective and heuristic decision processes, examining how emotions and cognitive biases influence choices in health, risk, and everyday contexts. His research integrates computational modeling with empirical data to uncover irrational decision patterns, particularly in medical and probabilistic scenarios. Key methodological approaches include cognitive experiments, probability weighting analyses, and behavioral interventions.

Analysis of his 2019-2024 publications reveals a consistent focus on medical decision science (vaccine hesitancy, disease risk perception) and cognitive foundations of risk (probability processing, affective distortions). His work demonstrates how computational models can decode real-world irrationality, with applications in public health communication and behavioral interventions.

Fulawka actively collaborates within the Adaptive Rationality Research Team at the Max Planck Institute, contributing to interdisciplinary projects that investigate the adaptive nature of human cognition through experimental and modeling frameworks.
