Professor Simon Dennis – Director, Complex Human Data Hub (CHDH), Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences.

Prof Simon Dennis leads the Complex Human Data Hub (CHDH) where the primary aim is to develop Computational Behavioural Science – bringing computational methods to bear on big data to better understand psychological processes.

Prof Dennis is also the Head of the Memory and Language Lab in the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences.

Simon’s research utilises large scale real world data, experimental paradigms and computational modelling techniques to investigate the cognitive architecture underlying memory and language.

Much of his research uses experience sampling technologies to study psychological processes. He has created an extensive data collection, retrieval, visualization and analysis ecosystem provided by Unforgettable Research Services Pty Ltd of which he is the CEO. Simon also has an interest in privacy and the concept of participant owned data.
