معرفی
Nidhi Banavar is a Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley's Department of Political Science. Her research focuses on decision-making processes in behavioral economics and addiction studies, integrating neuroeconomic, cognitive, and psychophysiological methodologies. She investigates how contextual factors, stress, and clinical states influence valuation and decision-making, particularly in populations with opioid use disorder. Her work bridges political science experimental methods with interdisciplinary neuroscience approaches.
Key research themes include:
- Neuroeconomic mechanisms of craving and impulsivity
- Psychophysiological markers of decision-making biases
- Methodological improvements in experimental design for behavioral studies
- Cognitive processes in addiction and public policy implications
Recent publications analyze how stress exposure, trial order effects, and craving fluctuations shape subjective valuation. Her 2023 studies on economic choice traits and risk preferences highlight methodological rigor in isolating behavioral variables. Collaborative work with clinical populations emphasizes translational research linking symptomatology to behavioral outcomes.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly noted in the provided text. She currently holds a Postdoctoral position within the Political Science department, contributing to interdisciplinary projects in behavioral science and policy analysis.
