Hello! ¡Hola! 你好!Ahoj!

  My name is Ray, and I am a third-year undergraduate student at The Ohio State University! I am studying both Neuroscience and Linguistics, and since I have a cognitive/computational focus in both I will also be getting a minor in Computer and Information Sciences. My interest has always been in foreign languages growing up, specifically learning as many as possible. Since I’ve started college however, my passion for learning language has begun to tie into my interests in linguistics, psychology, and computer science. Linguistics captivated me as I was learning languages, and it made everything make so much more sense and gave a reason behind those pesky “irregulars.” As I got further into Neuroscience, I started to hear about the fascinating world of Cognitive Science, and once I was able to take my first class and attend a seminar in Cognitive Science, I was hooked. The more I learned about Cognitive Science, the more I started to realize this field of study combined everything I loved so much, and enabled me to start asking questions about the nature of how we learn, specifically how we learn language. Soon enough, I realized my childhood interest in computers was helping more and more as I got into my studies, and with great joy I found out I had enough time before graduation to add my Computer and Information Sciences minor. I truly feel like I have found the perfect blend of everything that interests me most. The work that I do and the things that I study are not just school and work anymore, they’re what I enjoy and do for fun.
