I’m a behavioral scientist studying how people form beliefs, build trust, and make decisions in complex social systems. My work focuses on topics ranging from misinformation to trust, polarization, well-being, and sustainability, using experiments and exploratory methods to design interventions that help people and institutions make better decisions.
My research encompasses topics including misinformation reduction, financial well-being, and sustainability.
