I am an Economist specialising on Behavioural and Experimental Economics. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Economics and Policy Department of the Technical University of Munich, School of Management. I obtained my PhD in 2019 from the University of Nottingham. I am also an external fellow of the Centre for Decision research and Experimental economics (CeDEx). Prior to joining TUM I was a research fellow in the Network for Integrated Behavioural Sciences (NIBS).
My research focuses on questions related to how people make decisions under risk and uncertainty. Specifically, I explore how different modes of learning about uncertainty can influence risky behaviour, information search as well as the willingness to cooperate in social dilemmas. I am also interested in the methodological challenges that underpin the elicitation of more accurate and replicable measures of subjective preferences and tastes.
I pursue these questions through a mixture of empirical methods involving lab, online and field experiments and use of state of the art statistical modelling with techniques including Bayesian Hierarchical models.
As a behavioural economist, I am committed to academic research that translates to practical impact and policy recommendations. The topic of medical decision making is of particular interest to me. In a recent field-experiment, together with co-authors, we explore different channels for motivating people in high-risk groups to vaccinate for the seasonal influenza and observe how their subjective-risk perceptions influence this decision.
