Along with the exceptional administration and faculty, my supervisors Andrew Brook and Robert West have helped me to grapple with a number of thorny conceptual issues surrounding levels talk and computational cognitive modelling. Without their continued support and&nbsp;guidance, my academic success would not be what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In moving on to the PhD level next year at the University of Edinburgh, I have little doubt that the knowledge and skills gained during my time in the program have aptly&nbsp;prepared for further work and research in cognitive science.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Institute of Cognitive Science congratulates Luke Kersten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the June 2016 Convocation Luke Kersten won a Senate Medal for his Master&#8217;s in Cognitive Science.
