PhD Student
Psychology

Nick is a third-year PhD student at Yale. He received his M.S. in Psychological Sciences from William & Mary and graduated Summa cum Laude from the University of Florida. Nick’s research explores how people form mental models of AI, and how people respond when they misbehave. He works at the cutting edge of research designed to improve human-robot teaming throughout society. Outside of the lab, you can find him at the docks with the Yale Graduate Crew team.

He encourages all Davenport students, especially First-Generation students, interested in the graduate studies or networking to reach out to him. He is always willing to find a time to have a coffee chat.
