Biography: I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for undergraduate education, where I worked with Dr. C. Shawn Green to research the cognitive associations with world-level expertise in eSports (competitive video gaming). Here at RPI, I intend to continue pursuing the use of video games as a paradigm for cognitive science research, studying both individual skill acquisition as well as the development of skill and strategy within cooperative gaming teams.  Email:  philln2@rpi.edu.
