NYU Computation and Cognition Lab. I am a doctoral student in the Computation and Cognition Lab. At New York University, working with Todd Gureckis. I investigate how people collect information and make decisions in uncertain environments, with a particular focus on how the structure of the environment can cause people to seek more or less information.
