My interests are in the elucidation of scientific principles behind
interesting phenomena in the cognitive and social sciences. I use
primarily computational means to field models and test hypotheses.
The following two papers outline the main thrusts of my thesis research.
The first paper (2009) deals with the analysis of sets of stories to
produce higher-order narrative structures similar to those produced
by Vladimir Propp in the 1920's. The second paper (2008) treats
the data collection apparatus necessary for the analysis work to proceed.
