I’m a social scientist with a specialisation in social policy and behavioral political economy, using experiments, surveys and other data to investigate people’s economic and political behavior. As a lecturer and project manager at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland, I pursue academic research, consulting, teaching and supervision activities.

Topics I’m currently interested in include gender inequality, economic inequalities and justice, choice autonomy and participation, social norms, the legitimacy of democratic institutions, the provision of public goods and working conditions and values in jobs with low qualifications. An economist by training, I collaborate with colleagues from psychology, philosophy and other sciences, combining insights and methods from each field.
