Hi,

I am PhD Student in the psychology department at Stanford University, advised by Professor Noah Goodman. I use computational modeling, human experiments, and machine learning to learn about human cognition. In particular, my research focuses on understanding how culture enables humans to collectively accomplish things that no individual human could do.

I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, where I worked in the labs of Yang Xu, Joseph Jay Williams, Daphna Buchsbaum, and Falk Lieder.
