Note: I am not currently recruiting new graduate students.

Most of my research falls under the general topics of attention and cognitive control. I have a longstanding and multifaceted interest in task switching, seeking to understand the cognitive processes that enable people to rapidly and flexibly switch between different tasks in dynamic situations. I am also interested in the relationship between alertness and cognitive control, especially in contexts requiring selective attention. My research on these topics typically involves behavioral experimentation, sometimes supplemented by computational modeling.

I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I received my B.Sc. (Honors) in Psychology from the University of Alberta in 2003. I then moved to the United States to attend graduate school and I received my Ph.D. in Psychology from Vanderbilt University in 2008. From 2008 to 2013, I conducted postdoctoral research at Carnegie Mellon University. I have been a faculty member at Purdue University since 2013. I was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2019.
