I am a Research & Data Scientist at Babbly, an AI startup aiming to support infant language development through voice analysis. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University investigating how people learn the structure of the world around them.
I got my PhD in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience from the University of Toronto, where I explored how naturalistic experience is reflected in behavior and represented in the brain across the lifespan. Prior to that, I completed a BSc in Psychology at University College London.
I am interested in how we can analyze behavior as it unfolds to predict future outcomes, and how complex everyday experiences are translated into long-term representations for flexible future use.

My work

I love uncovering underlying patterns through data analysis and visualization. Many of these were code-generated and some were made manually. If you're interested, you can explore some of my spatial dataviz, data visualization and information design, and data analysis.
