About Me

Since earning my PhD from Caltech in 2011, I have been a member of the Middlebury College Economics Department, where I teach core courses in Game Theory and Intermediate Micro Theory, as well as electives and seminars in Experimental and Behavioral Economics, and regularly advise our senior thesis workshop. My research uses laboratory experiments to test canonical theoretical models, new ideas, and conventional wisdom. My most recent work generally focuses on social dilemmas, norms, and political polarization. I am the co-author of Game Theory & Behavior (December 2022) and currently writing a behavioral economics textbook for MIT Press.
