Michael Muthukrishna is an Associate Professor of Economic Psychology at LSE. He has been awarded a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholarship for outstanding early career research, and is a board member of the One Pencil Project which combines academic research with philanthropy. He uses a combination of mathematical and computational modelling, experimental research and data methods from psychology and economics to understand the psychological and evolutionary processes underlying culture and social change and to look for ways to apply this understanding to the challenges currently facing us as a species.
