I completed my BA in Cognitive Science, with an emphasis in Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley in May 2004. I worked in a Cognitive Neuroscience research lab with Professor Rich Ivry where my research interests included the effects of sleep on explicit and implicit forms of memory consolidation, and the role of the cerebellum on continuous and discrete movements. I am currently an Industrial Engineering fellow (2004-2008), with an emphasis in Human Factors in the IGERT program at the State University of New York at Buffalo. My research interests include a range of topics, such as multi-user GIS development and collaborative decision-making for various participatory GIS purposes.
