Marcos Gallo

Social and Decision Neuroscience Ph.D. @ Caltech

I use neuropsychological principles to inform public policy. I am motivated by my experiences growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood in Brazil. When I started my studies at Brigham Young University, I decided to dedicate my career to help inform and create effective policies to lift those in poverty. I got a couple of degrees in Economics on the way, including an MSc from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Now I supplement this training with neuroscience. My passion is researching decision-making under poverty.
