My name is Ayuumah Seth Sandys, a Ph.D. student in the Psychology Department, specializing in the Brain and Cognition concentration, at Utah State University, and a member of the Quantified Cognition Lab. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Education from the University of Ghana in 2021, and I completed my master’s degree in Educational Psychology at Mississippi State University in 2025. I am deeply passionate about research and aim to explore, in depth, the areas of memory, attention, perception, and decision-making. In particular, I am interested in how these cognitive mechanisms influence human learning and behavior.
