Hello! I'm Sevan Harootonian, but I go by Sev. I'm interested in studying mentorship and understanding the cognitive mechanisms that contribute to its success. One project I've been working on examines how people infer others' knowledge to determine the best way to teach them. I use Reinforcement Learning and Bayesian models to figure out what mental strategies people apply in teaching situations. Teaching is just one aspect of mentorship, and I'm also interested in other important factors, such as inspiration and motivation.
