PHILIP PARNAMETS - NYU Social Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow
Philip completed his PhD in cognitive science at Lund University and has spent two years as a postdoc with the Emotion Lab at Karolinska Institutet. His research is grounded in a broad interest in the cognitive and computational mechanisms underlying preference change, decision making and learning, especially in the moral domain.

Philip spends his spare time creating, listening or dancing to electronic music.
IMPACT
Addressing the world’s most pressing challenges requires coordinated global action. We explore how our insights from psychology and related disciplines can be applied to democracy, education, public health, environmental sustainability, and social cohesion worldwide. Our work has been cited in over 288 policy documents and we have given talks to policy makers and practitioners (e.g., United Nations, Uber) and have partnered with organizations such as the educational startup VOXPOP and the non-profit International House to make a broader impact on the world.
