I am an interdisciplinary researcher between (micro)economics, psychology, and (decision) neuroscience, a Chair Professor of Economics at Lancaster University Management School, and Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Economic Psychology. I have been full professor at the Universities of Zurich, Cologne, and Konstanz, associate professor at the Universities of Vienna and Salamanca, and a frequent Visiting Professor at New York University-Abu Dhabi. I am from Spain, speak German fluently, and currently split my time between Switzerland and the U.K.
My research focuses on understanding and improving human economic decisions, ranging from decisions under risk to strategic decisions (game theory) and voting. For that I use decision neuroscience ("neuroeconomics"), behavioral experiments, and mathematical modeling. I maintain a "Decisions and the Brain" blog at Psychology Today and a personal blog at Wordpress. I also co-organize the Economic Psychology Seminar of the IAREP.
