Go apply to work with Raunak!! I can testify that he's an amazing mentor and brilliant scientist.
I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science at Stony Brook in Fall '26!
My lab will take a social cognitive approach to studying how we form/update our beliefs and why we disagree about what is true vs false
I'll also be reviewing grad apps! See below for more info

New paper alert!
