I’m a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Economics at the University of Essex.

Previously I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the ECARES at the Université libre de Bruxelles and held a Research Associate position in the Department of Economics at the University of Leuven (KU Leuven). In addition, I was a member of the Group for the Advancement of Revealed Preferences (GARP).

I have received my Ph.D. from the Interdisciplinary Center for Economic Science at George Mason University.

Research interests: experimental economics, behavioral economics, game theory, and revealed preference theory.

Here is my CV.
