Hello and thank you for visiting!

​

I am Zurna Ahmed, a Medical Engineer and Neuroscientist by training.

​

I am interested in understanding exploration and information-seeking behaviors and their underlying neural correlates in non-human and human primates. My research examines how internal drives—such as curiosity and motivation—interact with external environmental factors to shape exploration and decision-making. To address these questions, I develop new methods that allow us to study (non-human and human) primates in ecologically more relevant, freely moving settings.
