As a co-investigator in the Purpose and Identity Processes Lab at Cornell, I have contributed significantly to a number of research manuscripts currently under review or in-progress, both as a second and first author. Our work seeks to clarify the psychological relationship between self-perceived identity stability (e.g. continuity in one's goals, motivations, and self-concept across time), and clinically relevant outcomes like anxiety (state and trait), depression, and perceived stress, with the end goal of informing new interventions and better conceptualization in these areas.

Spent two years contributing to research on Social Dynamics under the supervision of Prof. Tom Gilovich in the Judgements and Beliefs Lab at Cornell, and also completed a 1-year independent honors project on the impact of face-to-face vs side-by-side contexts on interpersonal judgements between friends and strangers. This included: (1) recruiting over 500 participants; (2) designing and running two original experimental studies (one online, one in-person); (3) managing a team of 6 undergraduate RAs; (4) presenting our work at a national conference (SPSP 2023) and in two undergraduate talks at Cornell.

Collected and analyzed behavioral and EEG data from 45 human participants to better understand decision-making processes in real-time contexts. Also completed independent analyses and presented data to lab members.
