Profile

I am an Associate Professor of Behavioral Decision Making at the University of Leeds Business School. I joined the University of Leeds in 2022. Before this, I was a Career Development Fellow in Finance at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics and Psychology at the University of Warwick in 2019.

My research uses field data to understand financial behaviors, such as saving, borrowing, spending, and investing. Beyond these core areas, I am also interested in social network effects, developing mathematical models for decision-making under risk, and studying the various factors that influence subjective wellbeing. A common theme throughout my work is the application of big data to provide insights that are relevant to both theory and policy. My research has appeared in leading journals, including Management Science, Nature Human Behaviour, and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, among others.

For more information on my research and publications, please visit my Google Scholar profile. I am open to supervising Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers interested in these areas, particularly those aiming to use big data or exploring new research ideas within the broader field of behavioral decision-making.
