I am a developmental cognitive neuroscientist interested in how infants acquire languages, learn, and remember.
How do human infants learn their native language and become fluent users within a few short years? Why is it that learning that occurs during infancy exerts lifelong influences, yet, adults have very little or no memories from early childhood. I study the perceptual and neural foundations of these core cognitive abilities in infants, and how experience shapes these systems during early development.
I am currently a postdoctoral associate in the Turk-Browne lab at Yale. Prior to this, I was a graduate student at the Infant Studies Center at UBC.
