Background

Ian is an academic researcher working at the intersection of computing, behavioural science, and the philosophy of science. His research combines empirical methods, computational modelling, and conceptual analysis to examine how cognitive processes are measured, modelled, and interpreted. He is particularly interested in the methodological and theoretical foundations of assessment and evaluation, both in psychological science and in artificial intelligence. His work spans experimental research, tool development, and critical analysis of the assumptions underlying statistical and computational approaches.
