I am a postdoctoral researcher in the 4D Lab at the University of Cambridge, where I use experimental and computational methods to study how brains and minds develop. My work focuses on learning, exploration, curiosity, and cognitive effort across infancy, childhood, and adulthood. I build and test models that capture how learners actively seek information and adapt to their environment, and I am currently developing AI systems that learn and explore in infant-like ways. By connecting developmental data with artificial agents, I aim to understand how changes in the brain give rise to increasingly flexible cognition.

I am also one of the founders of DevStart, an online guidebook that teaches research methods in cognitive science. The goal of DevStart is to help researchers adopt open tools more efficiently and with greater confidence leading to a science that is truly open.
