Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJordan Suchow is an Assistant Professor and cognitive scientist with 13+ years of experience bridging computer science, behavioral experiments, and sociotechnical systems. Trained at Brandeis (B.S.) and Harvard (Ph.D.), he blends experimental rigor with scalable engineering—leveraging crowdsourcing platforms and information systems to study perception and collective behavior. He led DARPA-funded research at UC Berkeley and now runs interdisciplinary work at Stevens that connects individual cognitive processes to large-scale sociotechnical phenomena. An active open-source contributor, Jordan has improved tooling from psiTurk for MTurk experiments to documentation and features in widely used projects like spaCy and proselint. His background in both LaTeX tooling and backend integrations reflects a rare combination of hands-on engineering and theory-driven research. He is especially drawn to the interfaces between disciplines, pursuing work that both explains human behavior and builds the systems that make large-scale experiments possible.
