POSTDOCS
As a scientist, I'm theoretically interested in how learning & memory systems interact and what algorithms in our mind give rise to specific learning effects (e.g., interleaving effect). I specifically study this in motor skill learning (e.g., piano learning) and declarative learning (textbook/word learning). I also study large language…
As a sports fan, motor actions produced by elite athletes always amaze me. As a junior researcher in movement science, I am particularly interested in answering questions regarding how we learn and control daily actions using various motor learning paradigms and modeling approaches. In addition, I specialize in using non-invasive approaches (e…
GRADUATE STUDENTS
I am a 4th year Ph.D. Candidate using psychophysical testing, physics simulations, neural network modeling, and computer vision to study the neural and behavioral characteristics of human motor development; elucidating the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms underlying our ability to learn and maintain novel skills with our dynamic bodies.
I am interested in how musical context shapes motor representation. When a musician plays in different keys, the same melody corresponds to different hand configurations. I’m interested in whether such key contexts prime distinct motor patterns, and what that reveals about how musicians link sound and action. Outside of research, I enjoy…
I’m interested in how our memory influences motor learning and how we can use computational models to understand these processes better. I hope to apply this knowledge to make learning complex motor skills easier. Outside the lab, I enjoy visiting museums, watching anime, playing Zelda, and relaxing at home.

UNDERGRADUATE THESIS STUDENTS
My name is Nicole Dunn, Class of 2026 at Princeton University, majoring in Psychology and Neuroscience and part of the Princeton Women's OpenWeight Rowing Team.
My name is Chase Filkins, I served in the 82nd Airborne Division and am currently a junior majoring in Psychology with minors in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science. I am from the northwest suburbs of Chicago and curious about the complex psychology behind competitive professional sports. I'm most interested in the mental and…
My name is Brendan Gorman, class of 2026 at Princeton University. I am a Psychology major and member of the Princeton Men's Ice Hockey Team. I am interested in different mental processes that lead to sport performance enhancement.
I'm a Psychology major (class of 2026) who's interested in studying cognitive vs. physical effort trade-offs in different tasks. Outside of class, I host a radio show on WPRB 103.3 FM, organize events under the Vietnamese Students Association (VSA), and play games like Overcooked 2 with my friends!
My name is Eva-Labelle Kenmoe. I am in the class of '27 majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Global Health & Health Policy. After Princeton, I want to be a physician specialist, hopefully in some realm of Pediatrics. I am interested in the concept of multitasking and how distracting stimuli affects learning processes. In my free time, I…
I'm a Psychology major in the class of 2026 interested in studying how people interact with, and learn to use, everyday objects and products. I'm involved in Princeton Christian Fellowship, and I sing Bass 1 in the Princeton University Glee Club. A fun fact: my family in PA has 25-or-so chickens as pets!
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANTS
I'm majoring in Computer Science with minors in Statistics & Machine Learning and Quantitative Economics. My current research explores the root causes and implications of hallucinations in large language and vision-language models, drawing on insights from cognitive science. Outside of academics, I enjoy powerlifting and breakdancing.
