Background
- A cognitive scientist with research interests in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Learning Sciences, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. His primary lines of research include mathematical cognition (e.g., human intuitions about geometric and topological concepts), computational thinking (e.g., human solutions to computationally hard problems such as the TSP), language understanding (e.g., the cognitive plausibility of large language models), learning (e.g., continual learning in humans and machines), and problem solving (e.g., optimization under constraints). He also investigates the neural correlates of cognitive mechanisms and the educational implications of cognitive learning principles.
Miscellany
- No additional information on personal interests or hobbies provided.
