Broadly i’m interested in how people think and learn differently, I approach this from an interest in understanding individual differences and psychiatric disorders. To do this I use a combination of behavioural experiments, computational modelling and machine learning.
I am also interested in how cognitive science can be used to make more human-like and human-centric AI, and it’s potential use in AI alignment and mechanistic interpretability.
I’m currently a postdoc working with Toby Wise at Kings College London, working on building computational models of repetitive negative thought patterns. Previously, I completed my PhD at UCL, with Neil Burgess and Rick Adams .
