I am an economist specializing in decision theory and social choice theory, with a particular focus on incorporating insights from psychology and behavioral sciences into formal economic models. My research explores the implications of these insights for decision-making at both individual and collective levels, aiming to bridge gaps between theoretical models and real-world behavior. As a passionate educator, I am dedicated to cultivating critical thinking and intellectual curiosity through interactive, student-centered teaching methods.
