Fall 2024

Kaylee Miller
Lab Manager (Fall '22 - Fall '24)

I am a senior from Castle Pines, CO studying Finance and Operations & Analytics with a minor in Mathematics. I am interested in the intersection between big data and the predictability of human decisions. While not in the lab, I love to hike, ski, and travel as often as I can!

Mary Grace Goyena
Research Assistant (Spring '24 - Fall '24)

I am a senior from Maryland majoring in Operations and Analytics and Marketing. I am interested in understanding human thinking and decision making, especially in the context of emerging technologies like generative AI and other algorithms. Outside of the lab, I am a member of the Georgetown Volleyball team, and I love to spend any free time outdoors, reading, or discovering new music.

Isabella Hall
Research Assistant (Spring '24 - Fall '24)

I am a sophomore from Connecticut planning on majoring in Finance and Operations & Analytics. I am extremely interested in the role of psychology in our perception of data and algorithmic systems. In my free time, I love to spend time outside, bake, and explore new places.

Andrew Koskela
Research Assistant (Fall '24)

I am a sophomore from Long Beach, California studying Finance and Marketing with a minor in Psychology. My research interests include the role that bias towards algorithms plays in people's responses to them and how it affects accurate decision-making in corporations. Apart from the lab, I love spending time with friends/family, traveling, and exploring DC.

Leah Tyrrell
Research Assistant (Fall '23 - Fall '24)

I am a senior from Kentucky studying Computer Science and Psychology. I've loved exploring topics surrounding Artificial Intelligence, cognitive neuroscience, and human interaction with technology and algorithms. In my free time, I enjoy running and being outdoors, or just finding a good recipe to cook.

Michelle Giovinazzo
Programming Consultant (Fall '24)

I am a sophomore from California studying the interdisciplinary major Computer Science, Ethics, and Society, so I am particularly interested in the intersection between computer science and policy decision-making. Outside of lab, I am obsessed with Model UN, designing video games, and rewatching The Hunger Games.

Rachel Schlund
Currently: Post Doc at UChicago Booth
Ph.D. Student, ILE School, Cornell University (Spring '21 - '24)

My research utilizes theory and methods from social psychology and judgment and decision making to understand human perception, judgment, and behavior. Currently, I am conducting research on the application of new technologies and algorithms in the workplace, morality, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. I received my BA in psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and graduated summa cum laude with highest honors in the major.
