Zoé Christoff

Zoé Christoff is an Assistant Professor in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence and a Rosalind Franklin Fellow at the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen. She focuses on collective intelligence, modeling opinion formation, collective decision-making, and social influence using formal logic, AI, social network theory, and social epistemology.

• Recipient of a NWO VENI grant for her project "Democracy on Social Networks"
• Former postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bayreuth (Department of Philosophy) and University of Liverpool (Department of Computer Science)
• PhD in Logic, Language, and Computation at the University of Amsterdam

Her research bridges logic, social network dynamics, and collective behavior, exploring how network structures create "collective illusions" and distort information flow. She developed logical systems to model simultaneous social influence and network restructuring. Her work includes foundational papers on informational cascades, pluralistic ignorance, and diffusion processes in networks.

Scientific awards include the NWO VENI grant and Rosalind Franklin Fellowship. She has contributed to projects like "From Shared Evidence to Group Attitudes" and "Foundations of Opinion Formation in Autonomous Systems."
