About

Hi! I am currently a predoc research fellow at Stanford with Judy Fan (Cognitive Tools Lab). My research projects explore learning in classrooms, game play & design, sketch-based collaboration, and intuitive physics.

I graduated from MIT with a major in Computer Science and Brain & Cognitive Science and a minor in Women’s & Gender Studies in 2024. During my time there, I studied physical reasoning (e.g. materials, stability) with Josh Tenenbaum, Laura Schulz, Max Siegel & Vivian Paulun. I modeled macaque vision with Jim DiCarlo and Kohitij Kar. I also spent a wonderful summer at Princeton studying latent state inference with Yael Niv and Rachel Bedder.
