am currently Beckman Fellow at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I spend part of my time at the Economics department, where I will be starting my full time appointment as assistant professor in 2008. Prior to this I was a Ph.D. student at the California Institute of Technology.My background is primarily in the interdisciplinary areas of behavioral economics (economics and psychology) and neuroeconomics (economics and neuroscience). They allow me to bring a variety of models and methods to study the relevant questions, including behavioral and field experiments, as well as neuroimaging and neuropsychological data.
The goal of my research is to understand a diverse array of individual and social decision-making processes. My current and past research projects include decision making under risk and ambiguity, nonlinear weighting of probabilities, moral decision-making, and price formation in double auction markets. Future research includes translating these and other findings to applied domains, such as how decision-making changes over age and environments.
