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

my coursework & research experiences focus in social cognitive development.

humans possess the unique capability to invent power and impose it onto other things. but what is the nature of this power? how does shared belief bestow meaning onto ordinary objects and people, transforming a person into president or an object into private property? my research questions are informed by interests in the development of social cognition and philosophy of social ontology and cognitive science. i'm interested in investigating these questions empirically from a developmental and comparative perspective.

i'm currently an undergraduate researcher at the thomas lab in the harvard laboratory for developmental studies under dr. ashley thomas and a summer 2025 undergraduate researcher at the boston college cooperation lab under dr. katherine mcauliffe! i'll be joining dr. kurt gray's deepest beliefs lab in the fall and i've previously worked under dr. mark pitt in the language perception lab at ohio state.

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.
