Welcome!

I am a vision scientist working in Dr. Nancy Kanwisher's lab in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. I investigate the perception and recognition of faces, objects, and textures. My work combines computer vision, machine learning, psychophysics, and electrophysiology to study how children and adults recognize the people and things around them. My goal is to understand what visual information we use to make complex decisions about the world we see.

I received confirmation a few weeks ago that I'll be presenting some of my work describing ERP responses to own- and other-race faces at this year's OPAM workshop in Boston. The presentation is entitled "The role of face shape and pigmentation in modulating neural and behavioral
responses to other-race faces."
