Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Gautheron is a Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in collective cognition and computational social science, bringing 15 years of interdisciplinary research and development experience. He combines experimental work and computational modelling, grounded in philosophy of science, to study how groups process information and make decisions. His background spans particle and astrophysics to cognitive science, reflecting deep quantitative skills (C++, ROOT, simulation design) and a knack for moving between theory and applied experiments. He also contributes practical software engineering—most notably backend work on the open-source AssaultCube project—demonstrating fluency with server and game-client code. Based in Greater Columbia, Missouri, he blends academic rigor with hands-on coding and a history in science communication and journalism. Colleagues know him for connecting formal models to real-world data and for bringing engineering solutions into research workflows.
