My research in one sentence: How people perceive, distort, and respond to social norms — and what this means for cooperation, behavioral change, and the possibility of norm change.
I'm a behavioral economist and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Social Norms & Behavioral Dynamics at the University of Pennsylvania.
I use experimental methods to study how people perceive, distort, and respond to social norms, and what this means for cooperation and behavioral change. My work also examines the conditions under which norms can change, including the role of social image concerns, monetary incentives, threat, and interventions that correct misperceptions. My research contributes to the understanding of norm dynamics, with applications spanning public health, environmental behavior, gender, political polarization, and social trust.
I received my PhD in Social Sciences from the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research and the University of Luxembourg in July 2025.
