I’m a social scientist with a specialisation in behavioral science, using experiments and surveys 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 and the provision of public goods. An economist by training, I collaborate with colleagues from psychology, philosophy and other social sciences, combining insights and methods from each field.
