Marco Ragni is an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Psychology, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, and reachable at TU Chemnitz. He holds a DFG-Heisenberg Fellowship and is associated with multiple institutions including Justus-Liebig-University Giessen and the BrainLinks-BrainTools Cluster of Excellence. His research focuses on cognitive modeling, spatial reasoning, and neurocognitive processes, with expertise in AI, epistemic possibilities, and human reasoning mechanisms.

Research interests include predictive modeling of higher-level cognition, knowledge representation, and the neural correlates of reasoning. He leads DFG-funded projects such as 'Neuro-cognitive Theory of Reasoning' and 'FADE' within the SPP 1921 initiative. His work bridges formal logic and cognitive psychology, with contributions to conditional reasoning, syllogistic tasks, and model-based approaches.

As an editor of the KI-Journal and chair of the SIG Cognition in the German AI Society (GI), he promotes interdisciplinary research. His educational background includes PhDs in Cognitive Science and Computer Science from Freiburg, with habilitation in Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Mathematics. Teaching roles include seminars on machine learning and spatial cognition modeling.

Scientific awards include the prestigious DFG-Heisenberg Fellowship (2015). Ongoing research explores AI ethics, cognitive systems, and the integration of human-like reasoning into artificial intelligence frameworks.
