A cross-disciplinary researcher

Research statement


After earning PhD in macroeconomics, I now work primarily in the field of behavioral economics. My research interests have expanded beyond economics to neuroscience and psychology, and I am actively pursuing interdisciplinary research with medicine, statistics, and marketing.


As an incoming Editor for Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology, and Economics, my main interest is the reproducibility of experimental results and the soundness of research protocols. I also plan to actively publish special issues that comprehensively examine the reproducibility of prominent studies, as well as research findings that are not statistically significant but where the research question is important and the research procedures are legitimate.
