Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Madan is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Nottingham who studies how emotion, motivation, and prior knowledge shape memory and influence decision-making, using behavioural experiments, fMRI/EEG, structural MRI, and computational modelling. He combines rigorous quantitative methods with qualitative approaches—interviews and focus groups—to map real-world memory and career pathways, reflected in his edited volumes and mass-interview project Academia and the World Beyond. An award-winning researcher and educator (APS Rising Star, Psychonomic Society Fellow, multiple early-career and teaching awards), he also advances open and reproducible science through editorial roles at leading journals and practical methods writing. He authors accessible resources for researchers and the public, including a MATLAB guide and a 2024 book translating motivated-memory research for everyday learning and wellbeing. He founded a career coaching initiative to support post-PhD transitions, signalling a sustained commitment to mentorship beyond the lab. Colleagues describe him as a methodologist who bridges technical neuroscience with practical, human-centered applications.
