I am a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, working with Radhika Nagpal in the Self-Organizing Systems Research group, and I'm jointly appointed 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. I mostly use ants as model organisms to answer questions about group behavior. My primary research questions are:

I study how complexity and collective intelligence emerge from groups of relatively simple individuals. I mostly use ants as model organisms to answer questions about group behavior. My primary research questions are:
- How: How does collective behavior emerge from individual traits and behaviors?
- Why: What are the evolutionary implications of collective problem solving?
- Where/When: How do group solutions contend with trade-offs caused by varying context?
