I am an associate research scientist at the Yale Child Study Center's Yale Early Social Cognition Lab led by Dr. Katarzyna Chawarska.  My interests include eye-tracking, autism, computational models of visual attention, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and models of development.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the NIMH T32 research training program for childhood-onset neuropsychiatric disorders under Drs. James Leckman and Elena Grigorenko, a graduate student in computer science at Yale University working in the Social Robotics Laboratory under the advisement of Professor Brian Scassellati, conducted research in magnetic resonance spectroscopy at the Huntington Medical Research Institutes, programmed video games for Sony Interactive Studios of America, and was an undergraduate at  the California Institute of Technology (though not all at the same time).
