Biography

Will is a Ph.D. candidate in the cognitive area at U of I. He is interested in both how people make complex decisions and how people perceive and remember about themselves and the rest of the world. As a result, he uses a combination of research methodologies such as behavioral research, computational modeling, and electrophysiology. The main goal of his research is to test and develop new cognitive theories and models that encompass a diverse population and linking perception and comprehension. In his free time, Will enjoys playing the Violin, working on his car, exploring local breweries, and refining his espresso-making techniques.
