Comment: I am not convinced he passes WP:NPROF. He has one highly cited paper, but then they drop of quickly. The "Media Coverage" section is WP:Peacock. If he had a major, peer recognition award it would be different. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:26, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
Benedetto De Martino is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience where he is the Principal Investigator of the Decision Making Group.[1] He is known for his research in the field of neuroeconomics, particularly on how the brain computes value, manages uncertainty, and is influenced by social context and cognitive biases.[2][3][4]

Education and career
[edit]In 2003, De Martino earned a Laurea in Biotechnology and Pharmacology with honours from the University of Naples Federico II in 2003, followed by an MPhil/PhD in Neuroscience at University College London completed in 2008. His doctoral research, under the supervision of Professor Ray Dolan, focused on the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making processes, and how the brain computes value and makes choices.[5] In 2006, he published a paper on the neural basis of the framing effect in Science, demonstrating the role of the amygdala in mediating this bias.[6]
Following his PhD, De Martino was awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship at University College London (2008–2012), during which he also spent time as a visiting scholar at the California Institute of Technology through the Wellcome Fellowship. He subsequently held an Early Career Fellowship at UCL (2012–2013) and a Senior Research Fellowship in Neuroeconomics at Royal Holloway, University of London (2013–2014). In 2014 he was awarded a Wellcome Trust and Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship[7], which he initially held at the University of Cambridge before transferring to UCL in 2016, where he was appointed Associate Professor at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience in 2019.
De Martino has been a visiting associate at the California Institute of Technology over the years, and is affiliated with the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute (ATR) in Japan. In 2017 he received a Google Faculty Research Award. He serves as a member of the Google DeepMind ethics research board, and has participated in a variety of public engagement and science communication activities.[8]
