RESEARCH
Interests & Experience
Broadly speaking, I am interested in decision-making. A few of my specific research interests include social hierarchies and the application of life history theory to study human behavior. I have loose interests in "dark" personality traits and relationship science. While divergent at times, I am very fortunate to have mentors (both faculty and senior graduate students) who have helped me find a common intersection with many of my interests.
