Research

My research interests focus on testing models of human cognition and behavior -- with the goal of understanding both the mechanistic and environmental constraints of our cognitive abilities. In particular, I'm very interested in the way information is structured in the human mind -- especially information best described by graphs / networks. I'm also interested in how large-scale sources of behavioral data (internet, social media, video games) could be used as tools for testing psychological theories.
