Hi! I’m Katarina and I work as a Data Scientist in the security, risk and fraud area at Intuit. Previously, I was an OpenAI Scholar. This site contains my blog for the program. I also sometimes blog on Medium and I tweet here.

I have a PhD in Neuroscience from UC Berkeley, where I studied attention using intracranial recordings in humans.

Between college and graduate school, I worked as a laboratory manager in the Nock Lab at Harvard, studying suicide and self-injury.

I have an ScB in Psychology from Brown University. As an undergraduate, I worked on research projects with Michael J. Frank (deep brain stimulation and moral decision-making) and Cynthia Garcia Coll (child development and immigration).

And before I got all focused on progressively smaller building blocks of cognition, I took a more global perspective: For my gap year before college, I worked in this refugee camp, having spent my late teens at this magical school.
