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 broad topics of study and some example research questions within them.
Dual-process theory, overconfidence, and economic inequality
What factors impede deliberation from overriding faulty intuitions?
How stable is overconfidence and what determines how people socially respond to it?
How do the perceptions we form of societal issues such as economic inequality shape behaviours?
Gender bias, strategic communication, and organisational language
How is gender bias expressed in organisational language and how does such bias shape women's experiences in the workplace?
What determines organisations' strategic framing of concepts (e.g., passion, risk) and how do such framings determine follower responses?
Misinformation and methodology
How do personality variables and social dynamics shape our willingness to share fake news?
