Dr. Lior Noy

Lior Noy studies creative interactions using computational tools. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the Weizmann Institute of Science, with a background in cognitive psychology, computational neuroscience, and robotics.  He is also a performer and teacher in Playback Theatre, an improvisation form based on real-life stories. He co-founded the Theatre Lab at Weizmann Institute, a research hub at the meeting point of physics, behavioral science, and the performing arts.  His current research interests include the development of computational paradigms for studying creative exploration, synchronization in dyadic exploration, and creative human-agent interactions. A long-term goal of these studies is to develop a computational theory of creative interactions.
