About Me
I will be starting a faculty position this fall at Rutgers University, Newark in the Psychology Department. My research bridges two research traditions: Cognitive Development and Computational Modeling. By bridging these methods, I hope to understand the structure of children's early causal beliefs, how evidence and prior beliefs interact to affect children's learning, the developmental processes that influence children's belief revision, and the role of social factors (such as learning from others) in guiding learning.
Selected News:
I am currently accepting graduate students to start Fall 2014. Information about applying to Rutgers - Newark can be found here.
Videos and talks slides for the CDS workshop on Computational Models of Cognitive Development (organized with Tomer Ullman and Josh Tenenbaum) will be available here shortly.
