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 would love to learn more about the intersection of music and psychology, from improvement of learning to betterment of the mind. I love going on drives, or even for an impromptu night walk.

I am a fourth year double majoring in cognitive psychology and molecular biology. I am interested in exploring how motivation relates to academic performance and work with Rian! In my free time, I like to explore new matcha cafes with my roommates and am an avid kpop enjoyer!
