Hey, you should totally check out the 2012 SNF Summer School in Computational Modeling of Cognition!

I am a reader in the School of Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol. My research involves experiments on human beings guided by computational models. Research areas include working memory and episodic memory (particularly for order and time); modelling of decision making; categorisation; investigation and analysis of serial correlations (1/f noise) in human cognition; and model selection issues.

My past and present collaborators include Steve Lewandowsky, Klaus Oberauer, Chris Jarrold, Casimir Ludwig, Iain Gilchrist, Eric-Jan Wagenmakers and Roger Ratcliff.

I am an Associate Editor for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.

I currently teach about the psychology of science (3rd year), and statistics (MSc). In previous years I have also taught memory (2nd year), cognitive modelling (3rd year), neuropsychology (MSc), and psychology of language (MSc).

Would you like to do a PhD in our lab? I am always on the look-out for bright people looking to do a PhD in one of my areas of interest (see publications). This is an opportunity to gain training in computational modelling of psychological processes, as well as developing your general research skills and learning lots about human cognition! Contact me for more information.
