I am an assistant professor of economics at the University of Connecticut. I am a behavioral economist whose research agenda is focused on understanding how individual risk preferences evolve over time, and how they are affected by experiences of risk like macroeconomic fluctuations and climate change.  My work involves both the building of economic models of risk preference dynamics, and the development of new empirical methods for studying long-run preference dynamics using observational data. In my research I draw on insights from a variety of subfields in economics that are concerned with risky decision-making, including decision theory, finance, the economics of insurance, economic history, development economics, and agricultural and environmental economics. Before becoming an economist I had an active career in applied risk-taking as a long-distance backpacker.
