I am a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, working in Josh Tenenbaum’s lab. My research lies at the intersection of psychology, artificial intelligence, and clinical science. My earlier PhD (2013) focused on developing computerized psychological treatments, while my recent PhD (2024) pioneered “Machine Psychology”—an interdisciplinary approach integrating principles from learning psychology with adaptive AI systems. Currently, I am extending this work by developing computational cognitive models of processes central to Clinical Psychology, examining how structured generative models from computational cognitive science can illuminate the sources of emotional suffering. Additionally, I am a licensed clinical psychologist and meditation instructor.
