ABOUT ME

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. I am interested in (and research) how people make decisions. I am particularly focused an altruistic decision making.I am fascinated with cultural influence on decision processes, making traveling the world endlessly amazing.

PHILOSOPHY

This too shall pass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am presently on a short sublet in Pittsburgh, so I can not host anyone. However, if you are looking for a place in Philadelphia in August or later, let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been lucky enough to stay on a few peoples couches and host a few for coffee. Hopefully more to come soon.

Interests

I have to say my favorite activity is talking with others. I have yet to find something more interesting than an engaging conversation.

With that being said, I enjoy many other things as well. I am an avid soccer fan. Having grown up on the ocean I love spending time near the sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

My main experience is in the area of cognitive science.I work as a research assistant and teaching assistant. If you have questions about how minds and brains work, I would love to try to answer.What do I want to learn? I think the what I don't want to learn would be a much shorter list. I love learning everything from cooking techniques to metaphysical philosophy. Really, anything.Oh... I also tutor formal logic (i.e. logical proofs)... but I really doubt few others in the world are really interested in that ;-)
