• PhD in Cognitive Science, Central European University

McEllin's research program investigates how non-verbal communicative processes enable joint action coordination, employing motion tracking and psychophysical methodologies to quantify interpersonal dynamics. His recent work extends into the relationship between joint action and commitment mechanisms, bridging social cognition with decision theory. This interdisciplinary approach spans cognitive science, experimental psychology, and social neuroscience, with implications for understanding cooperative behavior and social cognition disorders.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

Current advising relationships and research grants are not specified in public profiles, though his affiliation with DEBIAS suggests involvement in belief-update research initiatives.

McEllin actively contributes to CEU's Social Mind Center and DEBIAS research ecosystems, participating in collaborative projects that integrate cognitive modeling with empirical social interaction studies.
