I am a postdoctoral researcher working a joint-position with Ken Nakayama at Harvard University and Shinsuke Shimojo at Caltech. We are investigating how humans learn probability and reward structure to perform perceptual, sensorimotor and decision-making tasks. My research is funded by the Shimojo Implicit Brain Function Project (ERATO).

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in May, 2007 while being advised by Paul Schrater from the Computational Perception and Action Lab. My thesis involved using tools from statistical (i.e., Bayesian) decision theory to investigate movements people perform on a daily basis (e.g., reach and grasp). Please feel free to call or email me regarding any of my research.
