About

It is not surprising that the human mind is capable of reasoning about complex properties like physics (e.g. "Will that stack of plates fall?") or navigation ability (e.g. "Can I get out of this maze?") — but perhaps such properties are also spontaneously extracted as a part of how we see the world in the first place?

I'm currently a fifth year PhD student in Brian Scholl's Perception and Cognition lab at Yale. Before coming here, I worked with Michael (Mike) McCloskey in the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Johns Hopkins. My work explores perception and visual processing of topics such as intuitive physics, visual routines, navigational affordances, and unfinishedness.
