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?
In short, I’m a cognitive scientist exploring visual cognition, focusing on topics such as intuitive physics, visual routines, navigational affordances, and unfinishedness. I am currently completing my sixth year as a PhD student in the Department of Psychology at Yale University. I work primarily in Brian Scholl's Perception and Cognition lab, and also collaborate with Ilker Yildirim's Cognitive & Neural Computation lab. Previously, I worked with Michael (Mike) McCloskey in the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Johns Hopkins.
