About Me

Hi! My name is Eunice Yiu. I am a postdoctoral scholar in Psychology at UC Berkeley. I am fortunate to have Dr. Alison Gopnik as my advisor.

I study how children generalize from few observations, using abstraction, analogy, and active exploration to build causal models of the world. By comparing these capacities with AI systems, I develop developmental datasets and curricula that reveal the strengths and limits of AI models, and design human-inspired approaches for building more adaptive and flexible AI. My work is in collaboration with Berkeley AI Research Lab and Google DeepMind.

Before starting my PhD, I received my BA in Psychology, Biology and Economics from Cornell University.
