Fueled by his curiosity for the magic in the world, Jonathan plans to examine how the inherent mechanisms for learning and memory may have evolved, developed, and interacted with one another to give rise to complex human cognitive abilities. Jonathan previously worked with Dr. Brooke Macnamara at Case Western Reserve and later managed the Turk-Browne lab at Yale University. Besides research, Jonathan is a competitive powerlifter and enjoys exploring new brunch spots with his dog. Primary advisor: Jordan Taylor.
