I’m a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working with Julian Jara-Ettinger in the Computational Social Cognition Lab.

I study how people build mental models of others in real time—just by listening. My work focuses on how children learn to do this, using subtle conversational cues like delays, disfluencies, and interjections to infer what others know, think, and feel. I use behavioral experiments, corpus analysis, and computational modeling to understand how these inferences unfold.

I completed my PhD working with Alex Shaw at the DIBS Lab at University of Chicago.
