Ron Sun is a cognitive scientist investigating the fundamental nature of the human mind, using various methodologies of cognitive science, and in particular computational modeling, as means of forging mechanistic, process-based theories of the mind (especially comprehensive computational theories such as cognitive architectures). He has played a leading role early on in developing hybrid neural-symbolic (neurosymbolic) systems for cognitive modeling, and he is currently known for his work on the Clarion cognitive architecture. He has published more than 150 technical papers in journals such as Psychological Review, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Networks, as well as 12 books by MIT Press, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and so on. His recent books include: Anatomy of the Mind (Oxford University Press), Grounding Social Sciences in Cognitive Sciences (MIT Press), and Cambridge Handbook of Computational Cognitive Sciences (Cambridge University Press).
