Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Jamil Zaki built his career around a question that is both scientific and humane: how do people understand, trust, and care for one another? By his own account, family instability early in life left him wary of other people’s intentions, a private tension that later became one of the animating problems of his work. He earned a BA in cognitive neuroscience from Boston University in 2002, completed a PhD in psychology at Columbia University in 2010, and then did postdoctoral research at Harvard before joining Stanford. There he became a professor of psychology and director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, where he and his colleagues study empathy, cooperation, trust, and the broader mechanics of social connection.
