Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulian Matthews is an Australian cognitive scientist and Research Fellow with a decade of experience probing how humans reflect on and misjudge their decisions, combining rigorous experimental design with big-data analytics. Currently working at RIKEN and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child, he applies MATLAB, Python, and R to longitudinal and laboratory datasets—most recently on Australia’s largest study of early childhood digital use. His PhD-trained expertise spans metacognition, neuroeconomics, and clinical domains including schizophrenia and childhood trauma, and his work is funded by an international JSPS fellowship. A vocal advocate for open science and robust statistical practice, he pairs reproducible code with public engagement to translate neuroscience findings into real-world improvements in decision-making. He also brings practical clinical research experience from Australian health institutes and a working knowledge of Japanese, which helps bridge international collaborations.
