John Muchovej

I'm a PhD student advised by Julián Jara-Ettinger in the Computational Social Cognition Lab at Yale University.

Research

My research interests are primarily in multi-agent systems and agent representation, asking questions like:

• How can we bridge the representation gap between our best computational models of social cognition and the representation(s) that humans carry?
• How do we do social cognition over people we've never encountered? How is that social cognition made easier, the more you know someone?
• Do we build agent-specific models for social cognition? If so, what does that look like?

I use tools from computer science and artificial intelligence to study these questions in humans through behavioral experiments.
