Dr Helena Fornwagner (She/Her/Hers)

I am a behavioural- and experimental economist, currently employed as a Senior Lecturer (tenured) at the University of Exeter and an Associate of the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO). 

I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Innsbruck in 2017. After spending nearly four years as a Post-Doctoral Assistant Professor at the University of Innsbruck, I transitioned to a similar role at the University of Regensburg in the autumn of 2020. Building on my experience and qualifications at Regensburg, I joined the Economics Department at the University of Exeter in autumn 2022.

Throughout my career, I have actively participated in various committees, including hiring committees and the faculty board. I have coordinated large groups, led research projects, managed teaching staff, and supervised students, gaining extensive knowledge of university processes and organizational aspects.

My experience also includes successful teaching, conducting numerous research projects, and securing external funding, grants, and awards. I am committed to sharing my research findings with both the scientific community and a broader audience, as this is a key component of my professional mission.
