Senior Lecturer
Business Strategy and Marketing

-

In 2021, I joined the Marketing Group at the Department of Management at the University of Exeter Business School. Before that, I completed my postdoctoral training at the University of Chicago under the supervision of Boaz Keysar. My research explores the interplay between communication, language use, thinking, decision-making, and behaviour, focusing on areas such as sustainable consumption, prosocial behaviour, health, and ethics. Through quantitative research methods, I aim to uncover insights that drive meaningful behavioural change. The ultimate goal of my experimental research is to foster better decision-making and positive outcomes.

 

My work has been published in leading journals including Nature Sustainability (impact factor: 27.16), Journal of International Business Studies (ABS4*), Cognition (ABS4), Journal of Experimental Social Psychology (ABS4), Risk Analysis (ABS4), Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied (ABS4), and Journal of Experimental Psychology: General (ABS4).

 

I support the University of Exeter Business School as the Research and Impact Lead for the Business Strategy and Marketing Group, the Research Ethics Officer, the co-director of the MRes program in Management and the Research Coordinator of the Exeter Centre for Leadership. Additionally, I serve as a coordinator of the Business School Mentorship Program, the Academic Lead of the Social Inequality Grand Challenges, and the Open Science Champion.
