My research investigates the processes and representations involved in human memory. It balances empirical investigations and mathematical and computational modeling. Currently, my lab is pursuing several interrelated projects that investigate autobiographical memory and the relationship between the human memory and perception systems. We are actively involved in using Bayesian models to analyze data and describe human memory and perception (Yes. I am planning to recruit a new graduate student in 2018.)
