I am a fourth-year PhD student working with Dr. Robb Rutledge and Dr. Elizabeth Goldfarb at Yale University. I am supported by the Yale Psychology department and the Wu Tsai Graduate Student Fellowship.
I am interested in the confluence of emotion and cognition. My research spans a diverse range of topics to probe this broad question, leveraging the power of computational modeling and natural language processing to precisely quantify these relationships.
Prior to the PhD program, I worked with Dr. Janice Chen, Dr. Frederick Barrett, and Dr. Arnold Bakker at the Johns Hopkins University, where I also received my undergraduate degrees in neuroscience (B.S. with honors) and cognitive science (B.A. with honors), with a focus in computational approaches to cognition and linguistics.
Outside of the lab, I enjoy rock climbing, cooking, and jamming with friends.
