Angela Radulescu
CDS Fellow

Angela is Moore-Sloan Faculty Fellow at the New York University Center for Data Science (CDS) with affiliation with the lab. She studies how people learn useful representations of their environment, and how individual differences in these representations can lead to variation in mental health.

Zhiwei Li
Grad student

Zhiwei is a 5th-year in neuroscience who is interested in almost every aspect of the world that humans try to conceptualize and understand. In her work she asks: what makes people curious? How do people learn and update their knowledge and how can machine do a similar job? Currently she's building models of surprise and suspense that people experience while watching competitive sports games.






Pam Osborn Popp
Grad student

Pam is a fifth year graduate student in the Center for Neural Science studying human learning. Her interests are in combining behavior, neural imaging, and computational modeling to characterize and potentially improve learning strategies.






Ethan Ludwin-Peery
Grad student

Ethan is a fifth year graduate student in psychology interesting in intuitive physics (also a Phd in social psychology with Yaacov Trope).






Guy Davidson
Grad student (CDS)

Guy is a second year PhD student in the Center for Data Science working on creative cognition, goal and task representations, and the interaction between RL and language.






Aysja Johnson
Grad student

Aysja is a second year graduate student in psychology interesting in human sense-making, open ended reasoning, and the human-machine intelligence.






Patrick Little
Grad student

Pat is a first year graduate student in psychology interested in cognition, perception, and intuitive physics.
