Before joining Los Alamos National Laboratory as a senior research scientist in March 2025, Bradley Love was professor of cognitive and decision sciences at University College London and a fellow at the European Lab for Learning & Intelligent Systems. Previously, he was associate professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, where he received an NSF CAREER Award. In his past work, he developed models of human learning and decision-making and incorporated them into the analysis of brain imaging data. More recently, he aimed to make deep-learning models more human-like in terms of aligning with behavior and brain response. He is currently interested in building systems (that include large language models as components) to accelerate scientific discovery.
