Hello!

I am a PhD student in MIT’s Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department, working with Josh Tenenbaum in the Computational Cognitive Science Lab and Sam Gershman in the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. Previously, I completed my undergrad in Computer Science and Cognitive Science at Dartmouth College where I worked with Jonathan Phillips in the PhilLab.

My research aims to combine behavioral experiments and computational modeling to understand how people approach open-ended inference and reasoning problems. I am especially interested in understanding the role of metacognition in problem solving: how do we generate, evaluate, and switch between diverse reasoning strategies and problem formulations to efficiently solve a wide range of hard problems?

Please get in touch if you’d like to chat about research, applying to grad school or grad school in general, or have leads on quality Cambridge pickup soccer :)
