I am interested in choice architecture: how environments can be structured to help people achieve their goals. I also focus on why people often rely on internal change, such as willpower, when external strategies including commitment devices, defaults, and situational structure, frequently works better. My research examines how individuals and organizations can use choice architecture to better align intentions with outcomes.
I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University and a research affiliate at UCLA Anderson School of Management. I received my PhD in Organizational Behavior from Harvard Business School and previously held postdoctoral appointments at UCLA and Columbia Business School.Â
My work spans psychology, economics, and organizational behavior, with a focus on goal pursuit and self-control. I am particularly interested in why people hesitate to adopt effective, evidence-based strategies.
Previously, I worked with the Behavioural Insights Team in London, applying behavioral science to public policy through field experiments and policy design.
