about me

hello! I'm Haley, and I study how the human brain effectively organizes information for complex, controlled behavior. my research applies my background in computer science to pressing psychological questions. I am very interested in how biological and articial neural networks represent data in service of flexible action configuration, and I use fMRI to study human neural activity (see my brain to the right!).

currently, I am a college fellow at Harvard University, teaching in the psychology department and mentored by Talia Konkle. I completed my PhD in cognitive science at Brown University, where I was advised by David Badre. previously, I studied computer science and cognitive science at the University of California, Berkeley, where I conducted research with Silvia Bunge and Anne Collins.

I am passionate about teaching, especially teaching that emphasizes inclusivity and student agency in the learning process. my courses have crossed disciplines and age groups, and I am always looking to advance my skills to best serve my students. I have a Scholar certification from the national Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning.
