I am a fifth year PhD student in the Psychology Department at UCSD. I am interested in how people's understanding of the nature of science (e.g., science as tentative, science as a debate) impacts learning science in the classroom and evaluating scientific information in everyday life. Most of my free time is spent rock climbing, but I also enjoy hiking, surfing, and techno.

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Psychology department at UC San Diego. I am interested in how misconceptions in causal theories affect reasoning and decision-making in classrooms and everyday life, and how learning strategies can help people evaluate scientific information, navigate fake news, and interpret AI outputs. Outside of research, I enjoy gaming, fencing, and listening to podcasts.

I am a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience: Psychology. My interests involved exploring the potential link between music and its lyrics to students’ academic performance. Continuing, while I’m not studying, I like to cook new recipes to gather my beloved ones and try them out together.

I am a first-year undergraduate student majoring in Political Science/International Relations. My interests revolve around the intersections of STEM and social science, specifically how policy and science interact with each other.
