Research interests

Dr. Weller received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Iowa (US) in 2007. Since then, his research has broadly focused on how affective and cognitive processes contribute to decision-making and risk perceptions. More specifically, he studies individual differences in the perception of uncertainty and how individuals make rational choices, both in terms of how these tendencies develop over the lifespan as well as identifying factors that may contribute to more effective decision-making. He has worked on projects that have been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the American Automobile Association Foundation, UK Food Standards Agency, and the National Institute of Drug Abuse (US).
