I am a PhD student at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research and University of Luxembourg.
As a behavioral economist with an interdisciplinary background, I combine experimental and empirical methods to study how social preferences and belief expectations shape decision-making in economic and health-related contexts. My research focuses on the behavioral drivers of social contagion, such as status and image concerns, identity signaling, and social comparison processes.

The hidden struggle: Navigating disclosure, social backlash, and incentives -- experimental evidence from adults with ADHD (single authored) [Manuscript in preparation]
In my job market paper, I present new experimental evidence on how fairness perceptions and second-order beliefs impact disclosure decisions involving concealable identities (particularly, neurodivergent traits like ADHD) in strategic interactions. This study investigates how neurodivergent adults navigate trade-offs between disclosure and anticipated discrimination, considering how stigma, identity, and social image concerns come into play in these decisions.
