Michal Gath-Morad

I'm an Assistant Professor at the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge, where I lead the Cambridge Cognitive Architecture research group. I'm a registered architect (B.Arch and M.Sc) and cognitive scientist, holding a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from ETH Zurich. My interdisciplinary research employs methods from cognitive neuroscience to address architectural design challenges, focusing on creating inclusive and legible built environments. My research revolves around three key themes: understanding how architecture impacts spatial cognition, translating behavioural findings into evidence-based design tools, and analysing how evidence influences architects' cognition, design communication, and design outcomes.
