Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Deen is an assistant professor and cognitive neuroscientist with nine years of research experience probing how people understand others through behavioral experiments and neurobiological methods. Trained at MIT (PhD in Neuroscience) and Yale (BS in Physics and Cognitive Science), he progressed from research assistant to postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller before leading his own lab at Tulane. His work integrates quantitative, physics-informed thinking with experimental cognitive neuroscience, bridging theory and empiricism to study social cognition.
