Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeffrey Zemla is an Assistant Professor in psychology at Syracuse University with 11 years of experience applying computational methods to study human thought. Trained with a PhD in Psychology/Human Factors from Rice and a BA in Psychology & Linguistics from Rutgers, he blends cognitive science, linguistics, and data-driven modeling to probe how people reason and make decisions. His academic trajectory includes research posts at Wisconsin–Madison, Brown, and Princeton, where he developed computational paradigms and experimental designs that bridge theory and measurable behavior. Jeffrey’s work emphasizes interpretable models of cognition rather than black-box prediction, aiming to reveal the cognitive processes behind observed choices. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex statistical and computational techniques into clear experimental tests and teaching examples. He is based in the United States and brings a rare mix of rigorous lab-based research and practical human factors insight to the study of thinking.
