    Ian van der Linde PhD

    (he/him/his)
    University Position
    Associate Professor
    Dr Ian van der Linde is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students.

    Interests

    My research lies at the intersection of computer science, cognitive neuroscience and behavioural science, with a focus on computational modelling, cognitive assessment, and the measurement and evaluation of human and artificial intelligence. I am particularly interested in methods for assessing cognitive function, including premorbid ability and dementia screening, and in the implications of artificial intelligence for human cognition, agency and knowledge.
