My research examines the neurocognitive development of memory representation. I am particularly interested in how representational capacities influence knowledge formation and extension in children, adolescents, and adults.

My research focuses on the development of fundamental cognitive functions, such as attention and memory, and how they shape higher-order cognition, including conceptual learning, decision making, and inductive reasoning. I use an integrative approach that combines behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, and computational modeling to collect data from both adults and children across various developmental stages.

I’m interested in understanding how statistical knowledge is acquired and organized in early development and how memory mechanism shape early learned representation of concepts.

I am interested in understanding learning and memory through electrophysiology. Intracranial EEG offers an exciting and unique opportunity to study single neuron activity and the human brain under finer temporal resolutions.

I am interested in studying the interaction between episodic and semantic memory using naturalistic paradigms.

I am interested in how memory for time develops across childhood and how we use temporal features of our experiences to structure and organize our memories.

I am interested in the dynamic mechanisms of memory integration and generalization, and how these processes support complex reasoning. In particular, I focus on how these processes change as the brain matures from childhood through adolescence into adulthood.

I'm interested in understanding learning and memory mechanisms within developing populations. Specifically, I'm drawn to investigating how this knowledge can be harnessed to inform the enhancement of educational policies, particularly for neurodiverse students.

I am interested in the biological mechanisms that support memory development and how these processes are shaped by diverse biological and experiential factors. I aim to better understand how interactions between neural systems and experience influence the formation and organization of memory across development.
