CV

Research

I am a graduate student at CoCoSci, the computational cognitive science group headed by Prof. Josh Tenenbaum at MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences. My work focuses on developing computational models of concept acquisition by using techniques from program synthesis and probabilistic knowledge base induction.
