​I am  a Research Scientist at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research and the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT.

Before starting my current position, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT working with Nancy Kanwisher. I did my PhD at Harvard University with Ken Nakayama and George Alvarez. Before that, I did my undergrad at Tufts University working with Daniel Dennett.

My research focuses on understanding the limits of perception, memory, and cognition using functional neuroimaging (fMRI), electroencephalography(EEG), psychophysics, and computational modeling.
