Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences, INSEAD
I am an Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences at INSEAD. I completed my PhD at Duke University in the Fuqua School of Business after receiving a BA in Economics and Management from the University of Oxford.
Below, I list my primary ongoing topics of study and some example research questions within them.
Dual-process theory, decision processes, and choice models
What factors impede deliberation from overriding faulty intuitions?
What is the role of internal representations in decision making? How can embedding spaces help to model these processes?
What aspects of multiattribute choice vary across cultures? What psychological processes underpin risky choices?
Language as attitudes and its relationship to behaviour
How do our perceptions of societal issues (e.g., economic inequality) shape behaviours? How does this vary across cultures?
How is gender bias expressed in organisational language and how does such bias shape women's experiences in the workplace?
