I am graduate student in Cognitive Science at Indiana University, where I am researching the dynamics of brain-body-environment systems with my amazing advisor, Randy Beer. Before coming here, I received my BS in Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego and my MS in Systems Science at Portland State University.

I am interested in using the framework of complex systems to study cognition as a dynamical, embodied, and situated process that unfolds through the interactions between the brain, body, and environment. A little more specifically: my research goal is to create a simplified dynamical model of this complex process by identifying its relevant components and capturing them in a computer program. Such a program will be able to reproduce some of cognition's properties and pose testable predictions. And yes, easier said than done.
