Viktor Kewenig

PhD Candidate in the Ecological-Brain Program at UCL (almost submitted)

My research intersects AI, Cognitive Neuroscience and Philosophy, with a focus on language. Naturally, I am a big fan of Wittgenstein.

After studying logic, philosophy of science and mind at Cambridge, I transitioned to cognitive neuroscience of language comprehension during my MSc at UCL. Currently, as part of the Eco-Brain Leverhulme DTP my PhD research employs multimodal computational and ecologically valid research methods to investigate alignment principles between AI and human cognition.

I also collaborate with Microsoft Research Cambridge to find out more about how generative AI impacts human cognition in knowledge work and education.

Music brings an important balance to my life - I curate a podcast series called "5918mins" and sometimes mix records myself under an alias called "No Frills". The best finds are uploaded to my YouTube channel.
