Undergraduate Students

Devon Alperin is a member of the class of 2025 with a major in Biology and a minor in Psychological & Brain Sciences. She is interested in studying temporal order memory and event segmentation. She is also fascinated by collective memory, methods to enhance learning and memory, and neurodegenerative diseases. In her free time, Devon enjoys being outdoors, cooking, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.

Jeremy is a member of the class of 2026 with an intended major in Cognitive Neuroscience with a Spanish minor. He is interested in investigating the relationship between our actions during events and the strength of our memory associated with those events. Outside of work and study, Jeremy enjoys singing with his a capella group, going out to eat with friends, and running.

Elizabeth Kulick is a member of the class of 2026 with a major in PNP: Cognitive Neuroscience and minors in Biology and Anthropology. She is interested in studying event segmentation, the relationship between age and memory, and neurodegenerative diseases. In her free time, Elizabeth enjoys powerlifting with the WashU club team, playing guitar, and crocheting..

Hengchang Lu is a member of the class of 2026 with a double major in Math and Computer Science & Economics. He is passionate about applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to model human cognitive processes, particularly in event segmentation. Hengchang works in the intersection of data science and human memory, working on projects that aim to simulate cognitive patterns with natural language processing techniques. Outside of academics and research, Hengchang plays as the starting goalkeeper for the WashU men's soccer club.

Sofia Prenner is a member of the class of 2027 with an intended major of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Philosophy. She is broadly interested in the mechanisms of perception and memory. In her free time she loves baking, listening to music, and binge watching sitcoms.

Cameron is a member of the class of 2025 with an intended major in Biology. He is interested in the underlying mechanisms of human cognition and memory as well as event segmentation interventions. He plans to apply to medical school after graduation. In his free time, Cameron enjoys basketball, tennis, cooking, and spending time with family.

Anvita is a member of the class of 2025 with a major in Cognitive Neuroscience. She is interested in investigating how neurodegenerative diseases can affect biological and psychological mechanisms, and how event segmentation can serve to slow cognitive decline. Outside of academics, Anvita enjoys cooking, traveling and singing with her a cappella group.

Mya Wolfe is a member of the class of 2027 with a major in Psychological & Brain Sciences. She is interested in studying event segmentation in regards to age, memory, and neurodegenerative diseases. In her free time, she enjoys participating in WashU’s radio station (KWUR), discovering new music, traveling, and spending time with her friends.

Andrew is a member of the class of 2025. He is double majoring in PNP: Cognitive Neuroscience and Computer Science-Math. Andrew is primarily interested in understanding how event cognition can be modeled computationally through artificial intelligence. In his free time, Andrew likes to play video games and exercise.
