Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Huskey is an associate professor and cognitive scientist who leads the Cognitive Communication Science Lab at UC Davis, specializing in decision-making, persuasion, and predictive modeling. He combines academic rigor with industry-tested practice, applying A/B testing, reinforcement learning, NLP, and neuro-inspired AI to translate human behavior into scalable product and media strategies. With nine years of faculty experience and prior roles driving consumer insights for Nissan, Yakult, and global media firms, he bridges experimental science and market-facing research. Richard mentors cross-disciplinary teams across computer science, engineering, neuroscience, and media, and his work often converts lab-derived cognitive models into deployable predictive tools for real-world problems. An appetite for both theory and applied solutions makes him equally at home designing experiments and informing corporate product strategy.
