I am currently an independent researcher, affiliated most recently with the Department of Psychology, University of Chicago, as a Senior Research Analyst.
My current research interests are in understanding the psychological and neural mechanisms by which false information affects people's choices, especially in the political domain, as well as how these mechanisms change due to aging. I also have broader interests in how strategies and reward affect learning and decision-making.
For more on my research, please see a presentation that I recently gave at the 2025 Cambridge Disinformation Summit:
