I am interested in using cognitive modeling within a unified theory of cognition to test theories of learning and to improve human-computer interaction. I have built several tools to make model building, protocol analysis, and statistical analysis easier. I am also interested in developing stochastic learning and optimization algorithms to model behavior and to improve other analyses.
