​

Postdoctoral training: Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences; Johns Hopkins University [2018 - 2021]

• Supervisors: Janice Chen and Christopher Honey

• Focus: using narratives, online experiments and naturalistic neuroimaging paradigms, to examine how we remember and think about complex, real-world situations

​

• Supervisors: Cheryl Grady and Morris Moscovitch

• Focus: role of the posterior parietal cortex in episodic memory

What I am curious about: memory, spontaneous thought, stories, default mode network, etc.

​

Random fact: My best idea to date is the following 'would you rather': "Would you rather have teeth for hair or hair for teeth?"
