Gavin Cooper is a Postdoctoral Fellow (Wellcome Trust) at Royal Holloway, University of London. His primary project involves developing an accessible web interface to help researchers apply gold-standard cognitive modelling techniques to answer their research questions. His previous work included developing models of consumer choice behaviour as part of his PhD at the University of Newcastle, Australia. His research interests include developing novel models of cognition and creating tools to help improve access to cognitive modelling techniques. Outside of work, Gavin is an avid reader, contributes to open-source software and enjoys hikes and being a father.

Christina Dimitriadou is pursuing a PhD in Psychology at Royal Holloway University of London. With a diverse academic background, she holds a BA in Business Studies and a BSc in Psychology, followed by an MSc in Brain Imaging and a PGDip in Special Educational Needs (SEN). Christina's doctoral research with the SoCR Lab explores how autistic adults navigate learning and decision-making in different types of uncertainty. She investigates how the misestimation of uncertainty contributes to elevated anxiety levels and examines the underlying neural mechanisms using electroencephalography. Beyond her academic pursuits, Christina is passionate about street photography and enjoys astrophotography and stargazing whenever the British weather permits.

His previous studies include an MSc in Cognitive Science at the University of Edinburgh and a BA and MA in philosophy at the Université de Montréal. For his doctoral work with the Social Computations and Representations Lab, he is working on biologically plausible computational models of thought insertion and paranoia. His theoretical interests include the status of computational models, social cognition, and foundational issues in cognitive science. His hobbies include reading incomprehensible books, Sunday football, and playing the saxophone.

Selin Baydar completed her B.Sc. in Honours in Cognitive Neuroscience at Brown University, USA in 2022 and her M.Sc. in Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience at Oxford University, UK in 2023. At the SoCR lab, Selin works as a Research Assistant whose role is to lead the user experience research for the Hypatia project. Prior to joining SoCR, as an undergraduate, she worked as a research assistant at the Shenhav Lab for Decision Making, where she studied effects of penalty and controllability on cognitive control allocation. As a master’s student, she worked as a research assistant at the Ketamine Treatment Service, where she compared the efficacy of ketamine monotherapy compared to ketamine combined with psychotherapy for individuals with treatment resistant depression. In her spare time, Selin enjoys painting, art history and yoga.

Eleanor is a MSc by Research student in Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her current research examines public perceptions of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Eleanor is a volunteer research assistant whose role in the lab is primarily assisting user experience research for Hypatia. In her spare time, Eleanor plays lacrosse for Royal Holloway and is an active member of the research community as the academic rep for her course.

Nitay Alon is a PhD student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Max Planck Institute for Cybernetics. His main research aims at understanding the role of Theory of Mind (ToM) in mixed motive situations. Nitay's work combines AI and Cognitive Science methods to explore the various aspects of ToM with applications to AI safety, psychiatric disorders and other domains. Nitay was one of the co-chairs of the ToM4AI workshop in AAAI2025. He holds a M.sc in statistics and Machine learning as well as a BA in economics and B.sc in statistics from Tel Aviv University.
