WHO AM I 

Dr. Marcin Rządeczka is an academic with a keen interest in the intersections of computational psychiatry, evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, computer science, and philosophy. Striving to blend computational perspective with evolutionary principles, Dr. Rządeczka hopes to contribute to the understanding of neurodiversity and the potential of AI to offer insights into mental health diagnosis and therapy, e.g. potential biases of mental health chatbots. He has had the opportunity to author a book on the philosophical intricacies of modern evolutionary biology. Additionally, he has written a paper on the evolving concept of expertise in the AI-dominated era and has contributed two papers that shed light on systemic cognitive biases and the occasionally non-rational beliefs among experts. In a significant highlight for him, he was honored to share his insights at the very first Computational Psychiatry Conference in Dublin in July 2023. As an Assistant Professor in Cognitive Science at UMCS in Lublin, Dr. Rządeczka enjoys the chance to engage with and learn from the next generation of thinkers. He oversees the Laboratory for Multimodal Research, and as the Deputy Director at the Philosophy Institute UMCS, he cherishes the chance to foster international academic exchanges. In his current role as a Postdoctoral Researcher at IDEAS NCBR, Dr. Rządeczka explores computational models of psychopathological cognitive processes and the nuanced impacts of AI on mental healthcare.
