About me
I am a fourth year graduate student working
with Nalini Ambady in the Interpersonal
Perception and Communication Lab in the
Psychology Department of Stanford University.
Before coming to Stanford I received an M.S.
in psychology from Tufts University, where I
am a doctoral candidate, and a B.A. in
psychology with a minor in neuroscience from
Syracuse University. My research examines how
social perception and cognition is grounded in
bodily states, and conversely the role our
body plays in perceiving and understanding
others. More generally, I am interested in
environmental influences on behavior, face and
emotion perception, and how social judgments
are made in the active perceiver.
I am currently
supported by a National Science Foundation
Graduate Research Fellowship. My work has
been covered in The
Boston Globe, The
Wall Street Journal, The
Chronicle of Higher Education, MSNBC,
NPR,
The Economist,
Scientific American, NBC,
CBS,
and TIME.
