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…

I am a fifth year graduate student and I am interested in how humans learn complex skills that involve sequential decisions such as playing video-games or mastering a musical instrument. Recently, I have also explored the interaction of human cognition and AI. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading science fiction and playing chess!

Generally, I am interested in the evolution, development, and interaction of the inherent mechanisms behind cognitive abilities. Currently, I study these phenomena via motor learning through studying, modeling, and simulating how the motor cortex adapts to ever-changing physiological, evolutionary, and environmental demands. My hope is that…

I'm a fifth year graduate student who primarily works with Michael S. Landy, Ph.D. at New York University. My research focuses on sensorimotor confidence and computational models of confidence. I'm thrilled to be collaborating with the IPA lab this summer on a new project investigating the influence of biomechanical priors on sensorimotor…

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.

Kojo is an undergraduate student majoring in Neuroscience with certificates in Cognitive Science and African-American Studies. He is excited about the opportunity to work in the IPA Lab and learn about movement strategies.  He is also interested in the applications of cognition and movement strategies for cognitive disorders and…

As a rising senior majoring in Neuroscience and on the pre-medical track, my academic interests have been deeply rooted in understanding neurological disorders such as apraxia of speech and various movement disorders. I am also exploring the option of pursuing a MD/Ph.D. degree to simultaneously pursue my interests in both medicine and research…

I am a first-year interested in both computational psychology and computational neuroscience as tools to develop models for motor learning. Specifically, I have a growing interest in the relationship between error-based learning in the cerebellum and strategy formation in novel tasks. In my free time, I love writing, rhythm games, and board…

Hi! My name is Will, and I'm from Evanston, IL. I'm a psychology major on the premedical track, with specific interests in health psychology and motor learning research. I spend a lot of my time playing soccer, drawing, or just hanging out with friends. Quick fun fact: I'm a middle child!
