BIO

Just like most science, most scientists’ backgrounds are both more and less complicated than you think. For instance, I’m from Colorado…though technically I was born in Virginia. I’ve always wanted to be a scientist…with a brief digression the few years after college I spent wandering around China. I received my Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Chicago…though technically my dissertation was in cognitive neuroscience – which is the study of how the Brind/Mrain works! Then I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Western Ontario…though technically everyone in Canada just calls it ‘Western’. In 2016, I joined the Psychology Department here at Georgetown University and started the Mathematical Brain Lab…though technically, by ‘started’, I mostly mean ‘came up with a lab name and surrounded myself with other brilliant and generally awesome humans who also want to know how the Brind/Mrain does math’!

But enough about me. Click here to get to know the rest of the lab. Click here to learn more about our specific research. But whatever you do, definitely do not click here.
