Hello! I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University, working under Dr. Stephen Broomell. In September 2025 I completed my PhD in Psychological and Brain Sciences, with an emphasis in Cognitive Psychology, from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Dr. Andrew Cohen.
Research
I study human decision-making using behavioral experiments and mathematical and statistical modeling. In particular, I am interested in understanding the properties of human choice. My work often utilizes mathematical models, with the goal of testing theories of decision-making against empirical data as well as characterizing the cognitive processes underlying decision-making.
Teaching
I have been the instructor of record for nine courses. In addition to teaching Statistics in Psychology, Writing in Psychology, and Research Methods, I also taught a Data Science Fundamentals course for the M.S. program in Data Analytics and Computational Social Science at UMass Amherst. In this course, I taught students from diverse academic background about the fundamentals of data analytics and visualization.
Personal
In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to audiobooks, collecting records, running, lifting weights, playing the saxophone, and spending time with my wife and our two cats.
