Current Research

I work with Dr. Chris Kello in the Cognitive Mechanics Lab, as well as Dr. Michael Spivey, on the following topics:

Background

During the completion of my undergraduate studies in cognitive science at Vassar College, I worked under Dr. Jan Andrews and Dr. Josh de Leeuw studying learned categorical perception (LCP). My time on this project included designing new methods for stimulus development leveraging generative adversarial neural networks to create latent perceptual dimensional spaces, producing an innovative adaptive staircasing procedure for crowd-sourced, online psychophysical data collection, and proposing a new method for statistically defining and testing for LCP effects.

My undergraduate studies in philosophy included focus in metaphilosophy (with a focus on epistemology, philosophy of rationality, and philosophy of science) and comparative philosophy (with a focus on Chinese philosophy). I consider studying under Dr. Bryan Van Norden, Dr. Sofia Ortiz-Hinojosa, and Dr. Douglas Winblad to be especially formative to my philosophical training.
