My academic interests are in the fields of computational cognitive science, mathematical psychology and statistics. Among other things, I'm interested in how people acquire new concepts, how this knowledge is structured, and how people make use of this information to make inductive inferences. Typical research topics include similarity, categorisation and decision-making. Less frequently, my research also covers psychological topics related to language acquisition and visual perception. Other elements to my work are closer to applied statistics than to cognitive science, covering topics related to Bayesian statistics and information theory in particular. On occasions I also do more applied research, which in the past has included projects relating to defence, petroleum and telecommunications industries. Of course, like most people in science, I have latent interests in many topics, so this listing is likely to change over time.

On this page you can find my complete publication list, as well as a shorter description of a few selected papers that I'm particularly fond of. I've also posted lecture slides, technical notes and some pretty amateurish podcasts relating to a lot of my teaching. Additional material, can be found on the notes page. Also, there's this wordle that summarises my research interests.
