Felix Thiel

My PhD project tries to address the structural and relational aspects of knowledge representation, and how they relate to intrinsically motivated information seeking. During my time here we are specifically looking at how different predictive and learning contexts influence subjective feelings of curiosity and direct what we want to learn next.

I completed my B.Sc. at Luleå technical university, M.Sc. at Umeå University and I am currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Psychology at Umeå University. During my PhD I have been able to visit the University of Minneapolis to work together with my co-supervisor and now am very happy to be here at the Donders institute working on.
