Rate My Professor Adam Osth

Adam Osth is an Associate Professor in Psychology at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne. He received his PhD from The Ohio State University in April 2014, supervised by Simon Dennis, with research focused on computational modeling of cognition, particularly recognition memory and serial recall. From July 2014 to January 2016, he held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Newcastle, collaborating with Simon Dennis and Andrew Heathcote on evidence accumulation models including the diffusion decision model and linear ballistic accumulator, as well as hierarchical Bayesian modeling techniques using differential-evolution Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. In January 2016, Osth joined the University of Melbourne as a Lecturer and progressed to Associate Professor. He serves as the Principal Investigator and Laboratory Director of the Melbourne Computational Memory Lab, which develops and tests computational models to address questions on forgetting mechanisms, event encoding and representation in memory, and decision-making based on retrieved memory content. The lab includes PhD students such as Jason Zhou, Lyulei Zhang, Haomin Chen, Jie Sun, and Dan Hutchinson, supervised on topics like source memory, word recognition models, and confidence judgments.
