I am a 1st-year PhD student in the Vision lab. My interests lie in studying how real depth plays a role in visual attention. I plan to incorporate eye-tracking, behavioral methods, and mathematical modeling in classic visual attention experiments with the additional component of real depth differences. Prior to starting at UIUC, I worked in a lab at UMass Medical School using eye-tracking to study how Radiologists searched through medical images. I also completed my B.A. in Psychology at the College of the Holy Cross, and my Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Computer Science at Tufts University. In my free time I love to cook, daydream, watch soccer, spend time with friends.
