Cognitive Science Majors

I am the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Cognitive Science, and my regular office hours for Cognitive Science advising is Tuesday 3:00-4:30pm at the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS), Rm 477, 3401 Walnut Street.

I am usually in the my Williams Hall 608 office at other times.

When email, it's best to use your official Penn email address as messages from other accounts are sometimes filed away by my spam filters.

Research & Teaching Interests
 
I did my graduate work with Bob Berwick and Noam Chomsky  in the MIT AI Lab, an incredibly fun place. I then took up a faculty position in linguistics and psychology at Yale. I moved to Penn in 2006 to join a uniquely interdisciplinary community for language and cognitive science research.
