Events & Updates!
I moved to California to start my Ph.D. at UC Irvine!
In Fall 2020, I began my Ph.D. journey at the University of California, Irvine! I joined the Department of Cognitive Sciences under the mentorship of an exceptional team of advisors:
- Joachim Vandekerckhove (Final Primary Advisor)
- Jeffrey N. Rouder (Initial Primary Advisor)
- Michael D. Lee (Co-advisor)
*UCI Social and Behavioral Sciences Building*
Joint Program (M.S. in Statistics)
I was admitted to UCI’s joint program between the Department of Cognitive Sciences and the Department of Statistics, which allowed me to pursue both my Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences and a Master’s degree in Statistics. This interdisciplinary training has provided me with a strong foundation in both cognitive modeling and statistical methodology.
Research Focus
My research at UCI focuses on developing and applying Bayesian hierarchical models to understand human cognition. I am particularly interested in:
- Signal Detection Theory
- Response Time Models
- Individual Differences in Decision Making
Fellowship Support
I was honored to be supported by the UC MEXUS-CONACYT Fellowship, a collaborative program between the University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States (UC MEXUS) and Mexico’s National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT).
