I do research on human learning with the ultimate goal of helping make people smarter. I use behavioral experiments and computational models to understand how people learn and generalize knowledge and skills.

My advisor is Noah Goodman. I also work with Lera Boroditsky and Michael Frank.

See my blog for short musings on cognitive science and computation.
