Çağatay Özcan Jagiello Gutt
Cognitive Science Student (M.Sc.) & Molecular Biologist (B.Sc.)
Research Assistant @ IfADo - Leibniz-Institut für Arbeitsforschung an der TU DortmundResearch Philosophy
My research is driven by a firm commitment to open and transparent science. I believe the most profound advancements emerge from collaborative approaches that integrate insights across multiple scales and disciplines, from molecular mechanisms to complex systems behavior.
My academic journey from Molecular Biology to Cognitive Science has given me a multi-scale perspective to tackle complex questions. I use quantitative methods and open-source tools as my primary approaches to explore biological and computational systems.
For me, developing knowledge and technology is not just a scientific challenge, but an ethical imperative. Transparent, reproducible research is crucial for creating solutions that are not only effective but also fair, accessible, and respectful of human autonomy and societal needs.
Research Focus
Artificial Consciousness — Computational and biological foundations
Brain-Computer Interfaces — Neural signal processing and interaction
Human-Machine Interaction — Intuitive, adaptive interfaces
Physiological Computing — Biological signals for adaptive systems
Embodied Cognition — Body-environment integration
Neurodivergence — Neurotransmitter dynamics and system-level differences
Community & Engagement
Volt Europa
Active member working toward progressive, evidence-based policy and European cooperation. I focus on policy roadmap development and data analysis within the Economy and Innovation sector, advocating for open and transparent governance, evidence-based decision-making, and the responsible use of technology in public institutions.
Chaos Computer Club (CCC)
Supporting member of Europe's largest hacker association, advocating for digital rights, privacy, and technological transparency. The CCC's commitment to open knowledge and ethical technology aligns deeply with my scientific and political values, which I advance through policy work and occasional use of CCC infrastructure for open-source projects.
