What will your lab study?

My lab will focus on understanding how we learn to derive meaning from what we see. This work sits at the intersection between vision science, developmental psychology, and machine learning, and I welcome mentees with interests in any of these areas! The lab will primarily focus on behavioral studies with infants and children and use computational models as both tools for analyzing large, naturalistic datasets as well as testbeds for modeling early learning.

Are you taking students/postdocs for 2025-2026?

Yes! I plan on taking a graduate student. See more on the lab webpage! If you are a potential postdoc, please feel free to get in touch with a description of your research interests and your CV; however, I do not have funding for a new postdoc at this time, though if you are a good fit we can talk about grant co-writing opportunities..
