Dr. Ellwood-Lowe's Lab Webpage

Dr. Monica Ellwood-Lowe's lab studies children's language learning and brain development. They are particularly interested in how children develop in an unequal society, and the ways both children and their caregivers adapt to different structural constraints. To do this, they use a range of methods spanning day-long audio recordings of family environments, functional and structural MRI, eye-tracking, experience sampling approaches, and natural experiment designs.

Dr. Esfahani's Lab Homepage

With a primary focus on high-dimensional data, Dr. Mohammad Shahrokh Esfahani has significant expertise in developing machine learning tools. Much of his work involves constructing Bayesian models, which effectively convert 'prior knowledge', either inherent in the dataset or obtained from external sources, into mathematical terms—more specifically, prior probabilities.
