Matti Wilks

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Prof) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Edinburgh. I completed my PhD at the University of Queensland and was a postdoc at Princeton and Yale Universities.

I aim to understand barriers to prosocial and ethical behaviour. Currently I am focusing on moral circle expansion, the motivations of unusually altruistic groups, and understanding why we prefer natural things (particularly in the context of cultivated meat).
