Awards and Service

I work to position psychology as a central discipline for the good development, implementation and evaluation of AI — a discipline that should always be at the table alongside computer science, ethics and law.

I am active in the research community: I review regularly for leading international interdisciplinary journals as well as for leading journals in psychology and computer science, organise conferences and workshops, support early career researchers, and volunteer in professional associations and societies.

This page lists awards, associations and service, editorships and reviewing and conferences and workshops.

Awards

Young Investigator Award (Applied) International Union of Psychological Science

The award is given only every four years. Individuals are nominated by the national psychological associations, and the international community then votes globally on the recipient — in effect the "world cup" for early career researchers in psychology.
