about me
|
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, working with Jon Cohen and Dan Osherson. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Vision Lab at Stanford University, co-advised by Fei-Fei Li and Diane Beck (University of Illinois). Before that, I received my B.A. from Williams College in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Cognitive Science.

research interests
|
We rely on vision more than on any other sensory modality to
interact with and make sense of our environment. Our behavior and
culture, as well as the data we generate, all rely strongly on visual
information to index and capture salient relationships in the world.
|
My work uses functional neuroimaging (fMRI), psycho-physics, and
computational approaches to explore how cognitively useful
dimensions of visual categorization are
represented in our brain and how they contribute to our building
a coherent picture of the world.
