Princeton’s Attention Judgment study aims to investigate the ability of the human brain to predict and model the attention of others. Our work is centered around the Attention Schema Theory of…

My project plots slave voyage data from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Specifically, it compares the top five origin ports of the trade in terms of frequency of voyages embarking from these ports…

Plants use a protein called Rubisco to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds, allowing them to “make” their own food through photosynthesis. A type of green algae called…

My research examines the Recruitment of U.S Citizens and Residents and examines and explains the threat this poses to National and International Security. Beginning in 2010 ISIS and ISIL began…

As Mark Twain once said, ”History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” Despite growing at around 9% on average since 1900, the SP500 index has gone through many cycles. In…
