I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Anthropology at Emory University, specializing in the Biological Anthropology track. My academic background is in prehistoric archaeology, with research experience across both Oldowan and Acheulean stone tool technologies. Broadly, I am interested in the learning processes behind stone tool production, with a particular focus on how novices acquire knapping skills, the role of material constraints in shaping technological choices, and the cognitive implications of early stone toolmaking. My work combines experimental archaeology, lithic analysis, and interdisciplinary perspectives from cognitive science to better understand the evolution of technology in our prehistoric past.
