hi! i'm min & i'm a fourth-year student studying psychology, cognitive science, and religion at ohio state, graduating this december.

my coursework & research experiences focus in the development of social and moral thought.

i am interested in understanding how youngn humans form a sense of moral obligation, with special interest in understanding how moral obligation sustains agreements between people. normative power, contractual thinking, religious beliefs, intentionality, and mind perception are all features of obligation i am especially interested in researching, and how they inform interpersonal agreements (e.g., promises in friendships, care in families) and social agreements (e.g., laws, contracts).

i'm currently an undergraduate researcher at the thomas lab in the harvard laboratory for developmental studies under dr. ashley thomas and the deepest beliefs lab under dr. kurt gray! i've previously worked under dr. katherine mcauliffe at the boston college cooperation lab and dr. mark pitt in the language perception lab at ohio state. see my research tab for more information about projects i've worked on!

in my free time, i love to read and write fiction, watch studio ghibli movies, explore local lakes and swimming holes, take long walks, play piano, and go on bookstore-coffeeshop crawls.
