I am interested in how people hold others responsible, how these judgments are grounded in causal representations of the world, and supported by counterfactual simulations. I also like to drink tea.

My research focuses on how people construct predictive internal models of those around them. I say yes to coffee unequivocally.

My research asks how people build richly structured intuitive theories and use them to plan and make decisions. I like iced matcha.

I study the cognitive mechanisms of emotional intelligence. I’m interested in how social cognition works, when it’s effective, and what causes it to fail. Did someone say high mountain oolong?

I study how people explain events and how causal representations support understanding. A lot of my research focuses on causal selection judgments, whereby people single out the causes of an event that they deem particularly relevant for explaining an outcome. I look both at how people concoct such explanations; each time with a view to get insights into causal cognition.

I am interested in leveraging behavioral experiments and computational modeling to understand how we represent the world around us, how we simulate alternative worlds, and how we use these simulations to make inferences. In my undergraduate, I studied cognitive science and mathematics. I like to drink milk.

I’m interested in computational and behavioral models of cognition, including social, moral, and causal reasoning. I did my undergraduate studies in data science and philosophy. I like coffee.

I’m interested in how people infer hidden social rules in unfamiliar contexts and use causal reasoning to predict what might happen next. I’m also fond of the occasional cup of masala chai.

I am a Symbolic Systems master’s student. I am interested in social cognition, self/identity, and learning. In my free time, I enjoy singing, playing tennis, and spending time in nature!

I am interested in using computational modeling to understand how people reason about the world, how they collaborate and communicate with others, and how they form judgments about other minds or intelligent systems. I’m super addicted to black tea.

I am currently a PhD candidate in Nick Haber’s Autonomous Agents Lab. I double-majored in cognitive neuroscience and computer sciences from Minerva School. I am interested in how causal representations form our understandings in both the physical world and the social world. In my spare time, I enjoy learning electronics and observing squirrels.

I am an affective science PhD Student at the Stanford Psychophysiology Lab. I use a combination of behavioral experiments, experience-sampling, physiological measures, and computational modeling to understand how beliefs about emotions shape emotion regulation. When I am not in the lab, you can find me 3,000ft up in the sky, working towards my private pilot license!

I am a PhD Student in the Stanford Social Learning Lab. My research interests focus on the representations and motivations that guide learning and play early in life. I like to eat tacos and drink coffee.

I’m interested in computational approaches to understanding how distributed individual minds give rise to emergent collective behaviors—such as cooperation, social norms, and polarization. I drink hot coffee even in the middle of summer.

I study how humans and AIs construct internal representations and how these representations influence their behavior. My current work focuses on how moral judgments are made. I like strong coffee.
