Falk Lieder, Ph.D.

I am a morally motivated researcher, teacher, leader, and mentor. I am curious about the psychological mechanisms of moral progress and farsighted rational altruism.

In July 2023, I joined UCLA as an Assistant Professor of Psychology to start the Rational Altruism Lab. From July 2018 to June 2023, I led the Rationality Enhancement Group at the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen. Before that, I did my PhD in Tom Griffiths' Computational Cognitive Science Lab at UC Berkeley.
