Biography
I direct the Cognitive Tools Lab (https://cogtoolslab.github.io/) at º£½ÇÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø University. Our lab aims to reverse engineer the human cognitive toolkit — in particular, how people use physical representations of thought to learn, communicate, and solve problems. Towards this end, we use a combination of approaches from cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.
