I am currently a Research Scientist at Institute of Creative Technologies (ICT) at University of Southern California and a Young Investigator fellow at ARTIS. Before joining ICT, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University. My research interests include computational social sciences, cross cultural differences in moral decision making, analogical and case-based reasoning, and cognitive modeling of different aspects of cognition. I am specifically interested in the role of cultural products in decision making and in the emergence of sacred values. My research approach consists of both conducting psychological experiments and computational cognitive modeling. I received my Ph.D. and MS from Northwestern University and MS and BS from University of California at Los Angeles.
