PROFILE
Driven by philosophical studies on rationality and decision-making, I have widened my education and fields of interests to psychology and economics to integrate these three disciplines into a broader, interdisciplinary approach. Being determined to enhance my insights into behavioural and experimental economics, as well as into psychology, I have collaborated with Vladimira Cavojova and her team at the Slovak Academy of Sciences where I studied psychological aspects of decision-making processes, and have been studying PhD programme in economics at Cracow University of Economics. My long-term goal is to obtain an independent research position to integrate my previous experiences and establish a specific research niche of experimental economics inspired not only by psychology, but also by philosophical reflection on key issues such as gender or values. The present project builds on my experience with interdisciplinary research and develops my competence in applying open science practices as well as replication studies.
