Advancing the frontiers of artificial intelligence through rigorous scientific inquiry
Research Focus: Childhood Development, Learning & Reading
My research is dedicated to understanding the intricate processes of childhood development, with a particular focus on the cognitive and neurological foundations of learning and reading. By synthesizing findings from cognitive science, educational psychology, and vision science, my work aims to create a holistic understanding of how children learn to read and the factors that can impede this process.
This research has culminated in several key publications, including "The Developing Reader," "The Architecture of Learning," and "Dopamine Dysregulation in Childhood Development." These reports provide evidence-based insights and practical recommendations for educators, clinicians, and parents to support children's educational journeys.
