Tyler is a Doctoral Researcher at University College London’s Department of Experimental Psychology and a Visiting Researcher in the Organisations and Innovation Group at the UCL School of Management. Prior to beginning his doctoral journey, Tyler spent nearly a decade working in the industry. Most recently, during a 3-year tenure at Meta, he led Future of Work & Team Effectiveness programming for Meta’s 70,000+ employee workforce.

He received his MSc in Applied Behavioural Sciences / Industrial-Organisational Psychology from the University of Baltimore, and a BSc in Psychology from Illinois State University. Tyler’s research examines how the growing salience of political identity reshapes collaboration inside organisations.  He studies the unique tensions that surface when colleagues with opposing ideologies have to depend on each other, the trade-offs people make in response, and the downstream effects on organisations.
