Shakoor Pooseh

Shakoor Pooseh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM), affiliated with the Institute of Physics at the University of Freiburg. His research focuses on computational approaches to decision-making, resilience dynamics, and neuropsychopharmacology. He leads the Value-Based Decision-Making Battery project, a Bayesian adaptive assessment tool for impulsive and risky behavior, and contributes to the EU Horizon 2020 DynaMORE initiative modeling psychological resilience.

Education: Completed a PhD in Computational Methods in the Fractional Calculus of Variations at the University of Aveiro, Portugal (2013), with prior work in fractional optimal control problems. His interdisciplinary background bridges mathematics, neuroscience, and clinical psychology.

Research Interests: Explores mathematical psychology, computational neuroscience, and statistical modeling of decision processes. Key topics include serotonin/dopamine modulation of impulsivity, resilience dynamics under stress, and translational research in addictive disorders. He develops software tools for behavioral experiments and machine learning models.

Grants/Projects: Principal investigator for the DynaM-OBS longitudinal study on resilience, and collaborates on interventions like DynaM-INT. His work integrates clinical data with computational models to understand mental health outcomes.

Labs/Teams: Active in the FDM interdisciplinary group and the Institute of Physics’ neuroscience unit. Collaborates with psychiatric research teams at the University Medical Center Freiburg.
