Hi! I am currently a predoc research fellow at Stanford with Judy Fan (Cognitive Tools Lab). I develop experiments and models for understanding visualization and advancing statistics literacy in formal education. Other research projects explore game play & design, sketch-based collaboration, and intuitive physics.
Previously, I studied Computer Science and Brain & Cognitive Science at MIT with a minor in Women’s & Gender Studies. During my time there, I explored cognition & development with Josh Tenenbaum, Laura Schulz and Vivian Paulun. I modeled macaque vision with Jim DiCarlo and Kohitij Kar. I also spent a wonderful summer at Princeton studying reinforcement learning with Yael Niv.
Please reach out if you have any questions or want to chat!
