I am a Professor of Managerial Economics at ESCP Business School (Berlin Campus). I received my PhD from University College London and previously studied at the University of Cape Town (undergraduate). I am also a Research Fellow at WZB-Berlin and Stellenbosch University.

I am a microeconomist. My primary research fields are experimental and behavioural economics, with a particular focus on better understanding how people make sense of the world. This research thread considers questions related to the cognitive foundations of economic decision making, including work on belief formation, narratives, and mental models. I also have a secondary research agenda, examining questions that are particularly relevant for the Global South with a focus on the causes and consequences of economic disparities.  My research explores applications such as understanding how children develop their mental models of the world and examining the psychological foundations of discrimination
