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.

Cindy Bu is a member of the class of 2025 with a major in Communication Design, a second major in Psychology, and a minor in Marketing. She is interested in studying cognitive processes of people and examine how they perceive and interact with the outside world on a daily basis. Cindy enjoys arts and Kendo (martial art of Japanese fencing) in her spare time.

Nick Cloney is a member of the class of 2024 with a major in Psychology and a minor in Applied Linguistics. He is interested in studying the ways that event segmentation strategies impact recollection of material at a later time. In his free time, he enjoys reading, watching sports, and procrastinating heavily.

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.

Rachel Membreno is a member of the class of 2024 with a major in Psychology. She is interested in understanding the relationship between memory and aging. In her free, she enjoys learning how to play the piano and cooking.

Vi is a member of the class of 2025 with intended majors in Cognitive Neuroscience and Computer Science. She is interested in exploring the underlying neural mechanisms of cognition and modeling these mechanisms computationally. Music is what keeps Vi moving through work and study, but during her free time, she likes motorbiking, experiencing new food, and talking away with her friends.

Ashwin is a member of the class of 2024 with a double major in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Philosophy and History and a minor in Legal Studies. He is interested in the relationship between event segmentation and memory, specifically how memory is related to position within events. When not in the lab, he enjoys reading, listening to music, and thrifting.

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.

Andrew 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.
