Welcome to my homepage! I earned my doctorate in the Cognition & Perception Program at New York University in 2008 and joined the Psychology Department at Rutgers University in New Brunswick in Fall 2019. My teaching includes Introductory Psychology, Sensation & Perception, Drugs & Behavior, and Cognition. Current research interests focus on object recognition, perception of visual illusions, categorization, infant perceptual development, visual interest, selective attention, and eye-tracking.
