Don Ross is Professor and Head of School at the School of Society, Politics & Ethics, University College Cork. His research integrates philosophy, economics, and cognitive science, with affiliations including editorial roles at Journal of Economic Methodology and Biological Theory. He holds multiple international phone contacts for academic collaboration.

Ross's research explores interdisciplinary intersections:

• Philosophy of economics and economic methodology
• Behavioral/neuroeconomics of addiction, gambling, and decision-making
• Game theory and social coordination mechanisms
• Scientific metaphysics and naturalized epistemology

His work emphasizes empirical validation and policy applications, particularly in public health and institutional design.

Recent publications (2017–2023) demonstrate strong trends in behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, and complexity science. Key themes include: pandemic decision-making, addiction vulnerability, democratic stability via systems science, and meta-theoretical analyses of economic methodology. Experimental methods feature prominently, with frequent collaborations in health economics and policy modeling.
