Research Interests
I’m interested in cognitive psychology, and I’m still exploring new areas. I’d like to study the interplay between verbal and spatial memory, and how experience affects our view of the world. I’m also attracted to the use of language at all levels. At the moment my studies lie in the area of language production working as an assistant in the Language and Production Lab with Dr. Padraig O’Sheaghdha.

Before coming to Lehigh University, I worked at Patuxent River NAS as a contractor supporting Naval Aviation research. Much of my research there focused on the use of neurological sensors, specifically EEG and fNIRs, to measure brain activation for applied purposes in pilot training and cockpit design.
