Welcome

I'm currently a non-tenure track Assistant Professor of Psychology at Salem State University. I teach, advise, and do research in the Master of Science in Behavior Analysis Program

Thank you for visiting and please see my faculty page for more information

Research

My interests are in the theory, philosophy, and experimental analysis of human behavior. 

I use PsychoPy to build my experiments and randomization tests to make causal inferences about their results.  

Disequilibrium

My current research is on Response Disequilibrium Theory.
