I study cognitive processes and computations underlying human judgment and decision-making.
My research focuses on the (mis-)perception of economic and social variables such as financial risk and group diversity.
Research Areas
Estimates and decisions involving probability, risk, time, and prices.
Judgments of actions, emotions, and membership diversity shown by groups.
e.g., effects of presentation sequence and personified content.
