I am a Researcher in the Cognitive Sciences Lab at the University of Central Florida where I currently study cognition, behavior, and technology in the context of interdisciplinary science and collaborative software development. Through my research, I'm interested in promoting social good and accelerating innovation.
In my research, I investigate how people use distributed information to learn and make decisions in service of individual and cooperative goals. I further examine how technological affordances, intelligent machine agents, and social norms influence behavior in cooperative contexts. I integrate methods from the social and computational sciences to model these relationships.
In my free time, I am an amateur naturalist and gardener. I also enjoy reading science fiction, trying out baking recipes, watching fútbol, and spending time with my family in México.
