About Me

Hello! I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Cushman Lab at Harvard University. My research explores how the unconscious processes in our mind interact in sophisticated and counterintuitive ways to shape how we behave. I’ve asked questions such as “What does it mean to make a conscious choice?”, “Can delusional beliefs be explained by mistakes in how we experience time?”, “Does conscious deliberation make us less cooperative?”, “What is ‘normal’?”, and “Do people implicitly reason like statisticians?”
