Current Research and Scholarly Interests
My research aims to understand neurocognitive processes that give rise to how individuals acquire foundational cognitive skills that are predictive of academic and professional success. My current research investigates neural representations and brain circuits that predict individual differences in learning in response to training, leveraging unique experimental paradigms, theoretically motivated interventions, and cognitive and systems neuroscience methods. Through my interdisciplinary research in cognitive and developmental psychology, neuroscience, and education, I am committed to advancing our understanding of cognitive and brain mechanisms of individual differences in learning and achievement across development, and to informing evidence-based approaches to support individuals to reach their highest potential.
