Morteza is a Professor of psychology, computer science and the Brain and Creativity Institute (BCI) at University of Southern California. His work combines correlational studies of traces of psychological processes in artifacts of social discourse with behavioral experimentation to study the relationship between human values and environmental and psychological factors and to predict real-world behaviors. Morteza is specifically interested in how extreme forms of moral worldviews can lead to prejudice, violence and hate.
