I am a postdoctoral fellow at Michigan State University, in the Getty group. I'm funded through a McDonnell Foundation Complex Systems Postdoctoral Fellowship. I completed my PhD in 2017 at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I study how complexity and collective intelligence emerge from groups of relatively simple individuals. More specifically, I study the mechanisms of coordination in consensus decisions in ants, and I extend this work to look at group strategy in complex tasks that require many decisions. I’m interested in figuring out how solutions to difficult problems emerge in social groups. See my research page for more!
