Welcome!

This website is primarily focused on my research in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Ghent.

About My Research

I am a first year Ph.D. fellow at the University of Ghent in Belgium, and I study the intentional inhibition of action under the direction of Dr. Marcel Brass.

My primary interests involve agency, volition, self-regulation (incl. goal selection, motivation & willpower), ideomotor processing, and cognitive conflict.  I am also interested in the interplay between conscious and unconscious processing in human action production. 

Prior to arriving in Belgium, I received my Master's degree at San Francisco State University, where I worked in Dr. Ezequiel Morsella's Action and Consciousness Lab.  There I investigated: the role of propioceptive feedback in the sense of agency; the neural signature of persisting beyond the point of perceived depletion; three forms of cortical binding; the perceptual and motor components of subvocalization; and the various processes that modulate the urge to quit.
