My research uses a diverse set of tools from cognitive science, machine learning, network science, and evolutionary biology to better understand the dynamics of human cognition &mdash; how we learn to detect and recognize objects, how we maintain memories of sights and sounds, and how our thoughts and ideas evolve as they are transmitted from one person to the next.

I studied computer science at Brandeis and cognitive science at Harvard, graduating in 2014 with a PhD. Now I'm a postdoc at UC Berkeley.

My research program examines the perceptual and cognitive processes that affect our ability to see, remember, and learn from the world around us, and then develops technologies and techniques to overcome these limitations. The hallmark of this work is combining empirical methods from some of the best-understood domains of cognitive science, such as vision and memory, with formal frameworks developed outside the field &mdash; mathematical biology, machine learning, computer science, and network science. My work additionally makes contact with applications in computer vision, human factors & ergonomics, design, and technologies for learning and achieving mastery. The output of my research takes varied forms &mdash; journal articles, methods, software, visual demonstrations, and inventions.

I received my doctorate from Harvard in 2014. Now I'm a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley, conducting research at the Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences.
