Hi there!

I am a cognitive scientist studying intuitive physics.

We readily make physical predictions across a wide variety of scenarios in everyday life, from judging whether a Jenga tower will fall, to catching a baseball in the field. What are people’s representation of the physical environment that enables them to do such general-purpose reasoning? My research uses tools from experimental psychology and computational modeling to address this question.

I am a postdoc at MIT, working with Prof. Josh Tenenbaum. I obtained my Ph.D. in psychology from UC San Diego where I was advised by Prof. Judy Fan. You can find my CV here.
