I am interested in how action is represented in the brain, particularly in the dynamics of networks that support the development and execution of expert motor skills. I also enjoy researching and applying machine learning based analyses to neuroimaging data.

Broadly, I am interested in investigating the factors that influence the affinity between people, both in courtship and friendship. Specifically, I would like to demystify the non-conscious cues that we use when forming judgments (conscious or not) about other people. My aim is to approach this topic from an evolutionary perspective, using behavioral endocrinology as a primary method.

I am interested in the processes that allow us to create a coherent view of our world, such as high-order inference making, hypothesis formation, causal attribution, and the interpretation of ambiguity or conflict. I am interested in identifying the brain networks that support these processes and, secondly, understanding the dynamics of these processes in healthy and patient populations.

I am currently engaged in research which examines the factors that influence the subjective experience of duration. Additionally, I am interested in identifying the perceptual and cognitive effects that may emerge under circumstances of inaccurate time perception.

I am interested in the relationship between metacognitive skillfulness and educational achievement. That is, how much do people know about what they know, and how can that help them as students? My current focus is investigating the conditions that affect the accuracy of knowledge judgments.
