Dr. Itiel Dror Biography

Dr. Itiel Dror is a senior cognitive neuroscience researcher at University College London, specializing in human expert decision-making and cognitive bias. Dror earned a doctorate from Harvard University, focusing on cognitive factors in human expert performance. His work centers on translating theoretical scientific understanding of the mind, brain, and cognition into practical applications that improve human performance in real-world settings.

Dror's research, published in more than 150 articles and cited over 13,000 times, explores vulnerabilities in expert judgments and decision-making. He examines expert performance across diverse fields, including medicine, military aviation, law enforcement, and forensic science. His work has been featured in The Economist and leading scientific journals such as Science and Nature. Dror has edited volumes including "Cognition Distributed: How Cognitive Technology Extends Our Minds" and "Technology Enhanced Learning and Cognition," reflecting his ongoing interest in the intersection of technology, human intelligence, and performance. He also investigates the impact of technology, including artificial intelligence, on human cognition, decision-making, and bias.

Dror has contributed to the forensic science domain by introducing human and cognitive factors, emphasizing their centrality in forensic analysis. His research demonstrates how contextual information can influence expert judgments, showing that even fingerprint and DNA experts may reach different conclusions when presented with the same evidence in varying contexts. Dror identified six expert fallacies, such as the misconception that bias only affects unethical or incompetent practitioners, and developed a pyramidal model illustrating how biases infiltrate expert decisions. He has provided expert evidence in court for both defense and prosecution regarding forensic decision-making.

Dror served as chair of the Organization of Scientific Area Committees Human Factors Committee, overseeing cognitive factor issues across forensic disciplines. The National Commission on Forensic Science recognized Dror's leadership in this area, inviting him to present to the commission and appointing him to its Human Factors subcommittee. He has also served on an American Association for the Advancement of Science advisory committee. Dror has collaborated with forensic laboratories in the United States, including the FBI, NYPD, LAPD, and San Francisco Police Department, as well as agencies in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Finland, Canada, and Australia, providing training and implementing cognitive best practices in forensic evidence evaluation.

Dror has received the Association for Business Psychology Annual Chairman's Award for achievements in business psychology and the Association for Business Psychology Annual Award for excellence in training for his workshops on cognitive factors in forensic comparisons. He serves on editorial boards including Journal of Applied Research in Memory & Cognition and Pragmatics & Cognition. Dror is a keynote speaker for audiences in business, law enforcement, medicine, and the legal system, focusing on the application of cognitive science to expert decision-making and forensic psychology.
