I work in the interdisciplinary area of computational perception and cognition - at the intersection of computer science and cognitive science. I study and build computational models of human memory and attention, with applications to human-computer interfaces, customized educational tools, and visual content design (e.g. visualizations). I am very passionate about science communication and science education, and my spare time is devoted to activities in these areas. I also love teaching and mentoring others.
