I am a researcher interested in the field of perception-action. Curious about visual control and how people learn and adapt their behaviour by interacting with their surrounding environment. VR enthusiast.
On a different note, this is my first time putting my foot in an American Highschool!
Cool experience. They are quite similar to what I have seen in US media.

I had a great science communication and outreach opportunity at Olympus High School where I talked about my trajectory to Graduate School and what they can do with an Applied Cognition degree. My goal was to inspire the high schoolers to do more science.

My first paper in the Cognitive Psychology realm just got published and I am so excited! I love research on wayfinding, affordances and navigation! Give it a read if architectural design fascinates you and you wonder about how people view space!

Apart from being a hardcore enthusiasts of VR and Perception-Action, I also like ANIME!
Did a talk at the Popular Culture Association National Conference on "Consumption, Othering and Morality in One Piece". Great experience!

Not one of my professors is asking me if I have found a new/future home by which he referred to as a potential PhD program. I found it very funny and quirky haha as being in academia means I am on the lookout for a new place to survive! 😌🥲

I won the college level 3MT competition held by the College of Arts and Sciences at ISU and qualified for the University round. As someone who struggled with public speaking growing up, this is a huge improvement!
