Alin Coman is a Professor at Princeton University 's School of Public and International Affairs, leading the Cognition in Collectives Lab . His research explores how cognition emerges and evolves within social contexts, focusing on collective memory, belief dynamics, and emotion regulation through interactions. Education: Ph.D. from the New School for Social Research Research Focus: Integrating laboratory experiments, field studies, social network analysis, and agent-based simulations, his work demonstrates how macro-level phenomena like collective memories and synchronized beliefs arise from micro-level cognitive processes. Key themes include memory convergence, belief propagation in networks, and socially triggered prediction errors. Article Trends: His recent publications address vicarious memory frameworks, emotion regulation contagion, moral narratives, political belief change, pandemic-related belief dynamics, and the role of social norms in cognitive processes.
