I work at the University of Queensland (UQ), using behavioural experiments to study the economics and psychology of 1) scarcity and financial decision-making, 2) cooperation and morality, and 3) preventive health behaviour.
I teach behavioural and experimental economics and co-lead two research grants: 1) Think Forward Initiative project on promoting financial preparedness, and 2) The Templeton Religion Trust project on religion and moral behaviour.
I am also an external fellow of the Centre for Decision Research & Experimental Economics (CeDEx) at University of Nottingham and a founding member of the Istanbul Moral Intuitions Lab (MINT).
