Marina's research aims to reveal and inform the cognitive mechanisms of discovery. She applies formal (e.g., computational models) and empirical (e.g., cognitive experiments with scientists) methods to put the foundations of scientific method to rigorous tests. 
How do we learn something genuinely novel? 

Joshua is interested in how people construct theories of the world and use them to learn, act, and plan. Before graduate school, he studied cognitive science at University College London, and Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Edinburgh.
Can we ever study subjective experience using objective methods?

Avery is interested in how we come to know things about the world — what does the space of possible ideas look like, where do good ideas come from (and are they clustered together), and might the way we search this space sometimes mislead us? She studied Symbolic Systems at Stanford University and enjoys climbing, reading books in strange places, and almost any kind of music.
If we encountered aliens tomorrow, what might their science look like? Do there exist completely novel ways of exploring the universe of scientific ideas that we haven't yet conceptualised?

Di is a PhD candidate in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, primarily advised by Lisa Feigenson.  Di studies how people, from infants as young as eight months to professional scientists, make sense of unexpected information and build new knowledge. Outside the lab, she enjoys applying her research to interpret her cat’s behavior.
