Biography
I was born in Ohio, raised in Rochester, Minnesota, and completed my undergrad at UC San Diego. I could not escape the Midwest for long :).
I received a Bachelor's in Cognitive Science and a Bachelor's in Math-Economics from UC San Diego in 2023. During my time in California, I worked under Dr. Angela Yu and Dr. Marcelo Mattar, and explored problems related to social bias and judgments, sequential decision-making, and memory.
Research Interests
Science conducted by humans ought to be conducted on behalf of humans. I am interested in understanding how the technology we use shapes, and is shaped by, our lived experiences. Toward this end, I use behavioral experiments and mathematical models primarily to study decision making and human-machine interaction.
