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 cognition.

i am interested in understanding how humans form and sustain social agreements, with a particular interest in the roles of collective intentions, obligation, and cooperative and contractual thinking. i hope to research social agreement on the small, interpersonal scale (e.g., friendships, caregiving relationships, promises) and the large scale (e.g., moral rules, social norms, laws, collective action). my interests and methods are informed by developmental psychology, philosophy of mind and social ontology, and anthropology.

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.
