About
I am Jack Dylan Moore, a dedicated cognitive scientist with a strong interest in data science and user experience (UX) research. My mission is to bring my skills and knowledge to the private sector, leveraging my background in both qualitative and quantitative research design and data analysis. I've had the privilege of working in diverse roles, including leadership and individual contributor positions in healthcare, banking, and academia.
​
In my most recent role as the Innovation Team Lead at Psymplicity Healthcare, I honed my project management and people management skills. I was responsible for onboarding and training staff members on company systems like Zoho CRM and Deluge, a coding language. Moreover, I was actively involved in advising on recruitment and staff dismissal, demonstrating my ability to navigate complex, people-oriented decisions.
​
Previously, as a Data Analyst at Psymplicity Healthcare, I applied my expertise in data analysis. I developed a staff utilization and forecasting workflow and conducted monthly sales and ad-spend reports, demonstrating my ability to interpret data to inform business strategies.
​
My experience as a Design Researcher at Unity Bank Trust allowed me to utilize and strengthen my skills in UX research. I was involved in researching updates to the company’s website and UX, with a focus on both web design and workflow associated with account services.
​
Before transitioning into the corporate world, I served as a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant at London South Bank University. Here, I designed a game-based learning framework for higher education educators, which involved running focus groups and conducting qualitative data analysis.
​
Academically, I hold a PhD in Psychology from Goldsmiths College, where my thesis focused on the social aspects of agency. During this time, I extensively used software such as MATLAB and SPSS for data analysis and research. I also have a Masters in Cognitive Neuroscience from University College London, with my dissertation exploring the effects of action-outcome congruency on the sense of agency using behavioural and neuroimaging measures.
​
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of spearheading multiple qualitative and quantitative research projects, employing neuroimaging methods to gain a deep understanding of cognitive processes. I have hands-on experience with tools such as electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and neurostimulation models in Soterix and SimNIBS. These tools have been instrumental in my work, such as during my time as a Research Assistant at Middlesex University where I explored the relationship between neural rhythms and tactile perception.
​
In addition to my professional and academic experiences, I have contributed to several publications and participated in various seminars and presentations. This has allowed me to share my knowledge and continue my professional development within the cognitive science community.
​
In essence, I am a well-rounded cognitive scientist, excited to contribute to the fields of data science and UX/UI. With my extensive experience, proven leadership skills, and academic accomplishments, I am prepared to leverage data and user-centered design to enhance the services of any organization.
