Call me Kat!

I'm a fifth year Cognitive Neuroscience PhD candidate in the Turk-Browne Lab at Yale University. I am largely interested in the ways in which people learn and extract structure from their environments as they navigate, and the neural mechanisms that support these processes. In other words, I have people run around in virtual environments and even in the real world, while I observe their behavior and record from their brains! More specifically, I use a combination of behavioral, computational, and intracranial EEG methods to investigate the complex capacity that is human navigation.

Prior to graduate school, I was a graduate Research Assistant in the Thompson-Schill Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, before which I was an undergrad RA in the Badre Lab at Brown University.

Beyond the lab, I am committed to racial justice and equity for underrepresented minorities in STEM.
