I am a PhD student in the neuroscience area of the Psychology department, advised by Russell Poldrack. My research investigates various aspects of how people allocate effort, and I plan to use a combination of behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and fMRI neuroimaging. Before Stanford, I received my BSE degree in computer science from Princeton University, with certificates in cognitive science and linguistics, and then worked in the Niv Lab as a lab manager/research assistant for a year.
