I am currently working as a postdoc with Azzurra Ruggeri. I did my PhD with Todd Gureckis and Brenden Lake. I am studying how people and machines ask questions. Asking questions is one of the human mind’s greatest tools to learn about the world. I am fascinated by the comparison of human learning (cognitive science) and machine learning (artificial intelligence), and how insights in one domain can inform the other. From this perspective, I have also worked on other research projects, for example investigating how people infer an underlying causal structure based on a few observations.
