Senior🎓
Top SchoolCrista Falk is a cognitive science PhD student at Tufts and a former MIT Computation and Cognition graduate who blends software engineering chops with experimental research in multisensory perception. She studies cross-modal influences on hand position, aiming to reframe proprioception as a cognitive process, while also supporting student communication as a graduate writing fellow. Her background includes internships at AWS and Swim, hands-on UROP work in motor control, and computational humanities projects that applied data-driven methods to literature and policy. Comfortable in Python and R, she has taught neural networks and perception courses and led ML instruction at iD Tech, bridging pedagogy and practice. Crista’s profile uniquely pairs rigorous systems thinking from CS with embodied, human-centered research—she often translates lab insights into reproducible code and accessible explanations for diverse learners.
