I'm a post-baccalaureate research scholar in the Computational Cognitive Science Lab at MIT, where I study natural and artificial learning and intelligence. I'm particularly interested in where ideas come from and how we choose between them.

Previously, I studied computer science and psychology at Texas A&M University, where I worked with Yoonsuck Choe, Takashi Yamauchi, and Carlos Bolaños.

I came to the U.S. when I was eight years old as a political refugee from Cuba. One day I'd like to provide Cuban students with the same opportunities that I had access to here. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat about research or Cuba.
