About me

I am a cognitive psychology PhD student interested in how we pay attention and what happens when our attention lapses. We know from experience that our attentional state fluctuates continuously and that our attention impacts how we process and remember information. I use neuroimaging and behavioral methods to probe moment-to-moment changes in attentional state with the goal of answering the following questions: what underlies these fluctuations and what are the consequences for how we encode and remember information?

I am also an advocate for transparent and open science and believe science should be accessible to everyone. I lead the University of Chicago chapter of the ReproducibiliTea Journal Club, an initiative aimed at increasing scientific reproduciblity, transparency, and rigor. You can also find all of my research materials on the Open Science Framework website.
