About
I am an Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences at INSEAD.
I completed my doctoral studies at Duke University in the Fuqua School of Business after receiving a BA in Economics and Management from the University of Oxford.
My research focuses on cognitive and gender biases in organisations and society. Using computational and experimental methods, I look at the structural and cognitive antecedents of biases and their relationship with real-world outcomes.
This research addresses questions such as:
Why do decision biases arise? Are there domain-general strategies to mitigate them?
How does hiring women change stereotypes? How do these stereotypes shape women's experiences in the workplace?
