Joakim Sundh

Dr. Joakim Sundh holds a psychologist degree and a PhD in Cognitive Psychology. His research is primarily concerned with how people relate to and interact with risk and uncertainty. After earning his doctorate in 2019 he worked as a post-doc at the University of Warwick, where he developed a novel method of using response variation to evaluate computational cognitive models of human probability judgment. Subsequently, he was the recipient of a three-year post-doc grant for researching decision making in the context of rare and impactful events, with a particular focus on crisis prevention and mitigation. During his career as a researcher he has published works on both the human perception of probability and the cognitive processes that constitute the basis of probabilistic thinking. In the context of EB-CRIME his primary focus is the communication and interpretation of different types of forensic evidence, particularly in terms of their associated uncertainty.

Doctor Sundh is an assistant professor at the Department of Psychology at Uppsala University, Sweden. Outside of EB-CRIME he is also working on, among other things, a research project on the psychology of cybersecurity and several ongoing studies concerning the cognitive and philosophical foundations of probability.
