With the help of Robert Glushko and Pamela Samuelon, the Cognitive and Information Sciences faculty selects one person every year to honor with UC Merced’s Distinguished Cognitive Scientist Award. The recipient is invited to campus to receive the award, and delivers a broad public talk detailing their influential and groundbreaking research.
This year's recipient is Morten H. Christiansen (Cornell University & Aarhus University).
The 2024 Distinguished Cognitive Scientist Award Ceremony will be held on Monday October 14, 2024, 3:30-5pm, in the UC Merced Conference Center Ballroom. Prof. Christiansen will deliver a public talk that will be accessible to the interested public. All are welcome, from UC Merced and beyond!
