Publishing
My research has examined how the human brain stores and processes our knowledge of the world, starting early in development and breaking down later in life.

Building
More recently I've become very interested in building technologies for educational and health applications. Participating in the MIT community is simply inspiring at a deep and fundamental level.
I've been writing semantic algorithms for Knowhi.org. Where the internet is now a tangle of competing blogs, forums, wikis, and comments, we aim to show who knows what when you need to know.
I'm also working with a fantastic team at Neumitra to turn established science into portable technologies to assist the 40 million Americans with clinical anxiety disorders.
