For my PhD I studied concept acquisition (category learning) at one of the top Philosophy and Cognitive Science institutions in the world. I then did a postdoctoral fellowship in Cognitive Robotics, where I helped to implement my theory of concept acquisition in softbots and robots that explore their worlds in much the way that children and scientists do. This work has inspired me to create a philosophy for children center (paradoxcenter.org) to help bring exploratory learning to public education. I hope soon to move into childhood education full-time.
