About me
I received an A.B. from Dartmouth College in 2004 where I
double-majored in psychology and linguistics. My research has two
primary themes: the study of perceptually ambiguous groups and the
accuracy of social perception (see representative publications
below). I take a social cognitive neuroscience approach in
addressing both lines of work and am particularly interested in
diverse methodological and statistical approaches to testing and
understanding human behavior. I am currently supported by a National
Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
