I’m a cognitive scientist and PhD candidate at the NYU Center for Data Science, advised by Brenden Lake and Todd Gureckis. I’m excited about understanding the human mind and leveraging ideas from human cognition to develop more human-like artificial intelligence. My research combines human experiments, data analysis, and computational modeling to study cognition. I am particularly interested in cognitive goals and the use of structured, program-like representations to capture them, and I’m keen to explore how richer goal representations could facilitate exploration and generalization in artificial agents.
In my non-academic life, I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee, making homemade hot sauces, and making friends with all the dogs in Brooklyn.
