We are excited to announce that two outstanding postdoctoral researchers will be joining the Wise Judgment Consortium this fall.
Yisheng Li will join us in September as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Natural Language Processing. He is currently completing his PhD at Toronto Metropolitan University. Yisheng’s research focuses on computational social science, particularly the spread and clustering of conspiracy theories on social media. Drawing on social and cognitive theories, he investigates how homophily forms in online environments using machine learning, natural language processing, and large-scale data. His broader interests include the ethical dimensions of AI, such as fairness and transparency. Yisheng has presented his work at several conferences and co-authored a publication in the American Journal of Health Behavior. His achievements have been recognized through numerous awards, including the Ontario Graduate Scholarship and the Brock Distinguished Graduate Student Award.
Abhishek Dedhe will join us in October as a Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in agent behavior. He is currently completing his PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University, where he is also pursuing a Certificate in Quantitative Methodology. Abhishek’s research investigates the cognitive algorithms involved in abstract thought across domains such as language, mathematics, and logic. He combines behavioural methods with computational modeling and has long-standing interests at the intersection of brain sciences, philosophy, and education.
We’re excited to welcome Yisheng and Abhishek to the team and look forward to their valuable contributions to the Consortium.
