Before attending Oxford, Marcus completed a BA in Psychology and Computer Science at Harvard University, and at Oxford, he has pursued two MSc degrees in Evidence-Based Social Intervention & Policy Evaluation & Neuroscience before advancing towards doctoral studies in Experimental Psychology. Fundamentally, he is passionate about utilising a rigorous empirical understanding of human social cognition in creating policies that can guide people toward better decision-making. Marcus’ research involves combining computational cognitive neuroscience modelling with machine learning methods to produce an understanding of human preferences on social and political beliefs precisely enough to predict and inform the impact of policy interventions and governmental structure.
