I am a behavioral scientist at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research. I am the co-founder and research director of the Social Bee Lab. I am also a fellow at CBID at NYU Abu Dhabi.

I use lab, on-line and field experiments to study how social connections and group identities lead to economic inequality, as well as ways to promote opportunities and economic mobility. You can see my work (here) and download my CV (here).

Also, I organize the Ethics, Experiments and Economics (3E) seminar series (see program) and coordinate the PhD mentoring group on experimental research at LISER.
