Research Interests
I am interested in human behavior--the causes and consequences of the judgments people form and the decisions they make. My research spans many domains of behavioral science, including: perceptions of risk and uncertainty, behavioral ethics, descriptive social norms, and behavioral interventions (i.e., nudges) to improve individual decisions.
Personal Interests
I am personally and professionally interested in Effective Altruism, including how decision science may address the world's most pressing problems. In particular, I'm looking for ways that research can help the transition to Artificial General Intelligence go well for the world.
