Background
I am currently an M.S. Candidate in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin. I received B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from Florida State University in 2021, and a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Florida in 2009.
My research interests lie in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience. I am particularly interested in developing and improving computational models of human cognitive processes, with the goal of creating more explainable and generalizeable biologically inspired AI algorithms and techniques.
