I am a computational cognitive scientist working with AI and experimental psychology. I design computational models of how people think and behave. In my recent work I am using Large Language Models to understand cognition, and using cognition to understand Large Language Models. Check out my publications to see more about my projects.
I have a number of projects on standby for talented undergraduate and graduate students - send us your CV and project suggestion to get in touch.
