About

I am a Lecturer in the Department of Economics within the School of Economic, Social and Political Science (ESPS) at the University of Southampton (UK).

My main field is applied behavioural economics, with a focus on two overarching themes: decision-making and health, as well as environmental and sustainable choices.

I am passionate about exploring socially relevant topics and addressing key social issues through my research. I have conducted a variety of experiments, both in the field and in controlled lab settings, working with diverse and often "non-standard" populations, including first graders, farmers, and mothers with low socioeconomic status.

My approach is characterized by a multidisciplinary perspective, drawing insights from the realms of psychology, neuroscience, and biology. My commitment to fostering transdisciplinary collaboration has led me to work alongside scholars from other disciplines beyond social sciences.
