Rafał Tryścień, PhD
My experience combines cognitive science, philosophy of mind, scientific research and business practice in the financial sector.
This helps me support technology companies, investors and product teams in better understanding how people make decisions, where they lose trust and how they react to products, messages and digital systems.
Academic role
Dean of Cognitive Science at AHE Łódź
I lead the cognitive science programme, developing a curriculum that connects the science of the human mind with technological and business practice. I work with students on real research projects for companies and organisations.
Scientific education
PhD in the humanities, philosophy of mind and personal identity
My academic foundation covers philosophy of mind, consciousness, personal identity and ethics. This lets me see the human being not only as a product user, but as a person who interprets, trusts, decides and reacts.
Research work
Mind, consciousness, AI, identity, ethics
I publish and speak at conferences in Poland and abroad. My work covers philosophy of mind, consciousness, the problem of personal identity, ethical aspects of artificial intelligence and questions about machine consciousness.
Business experience
Compliance, AML, FATCA, CRS, decision systems
I work in the financial sector, analysing processes related to risk, regulatory compliance and decisions made within complex systems. This means I understand both the theory and the practical needs of business.
What we research
My scientific work addresses questions that increasingly appear in the technology business as well.
How people think, decide and trust technology. How they understand messages. How they react to artificial intelligence. How to interpret consciousness, identity and responsibility in a world of ever more complex systems.
