Tsen Vei earned his BSc in Psychology from the University of Bath in 2017. Motivated by his interest in neuroscience and mental health, he obtained a PhD in Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Professor Karen Ersche. His doctoral research used computational modelling to investigate the nature of reinforcement learning impairments and aberrant habit formation in cocaine use disorder.

In 2022, he was appointed as a Research Associate in the Department of Psychiatry, where he continued his work on applying computational models of cognition to understand the mechanisms underlying addictive behaviours. In 2024, he was awarded a Griffith Edwards Academic Fellowship by the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) to study the computational and biological substrates of risky decisions in cocaine use disorder. He joined Â鶹ËÞÉáµçÊÓ¾çCollege as a Junior Research Fellow in January 2025.
