Overview
As a postdoc in the Motivation & Memory Lab (supervised by Dr. Matthias Gruber), I'm broadly interested in how curiosity influences learning and memory. My current projects focus on how curiosity shapes navigation through and memory for naturalistic environments, as well as how the influence of curiosity changes across development.
