I study how people make judgments and decisions about ethics and morality.
Drawing on social psychology and organizational behavior, I explore questions such as:
When do people think it's okay to lie?
How do people understand the moral norms in their organization or industry?
How do different decision making processes affect the honesty, fairness, and generosity of people's choices?
My current research focuses on ethical challenges in technological innovation and entrepreneurship, including Silicon Valley fraud and human-algorithm collaboration. My work has been published in journals such as Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and Organization Science, and has been featured in outlets such as the Financial Times and Harvard Business Review.
I received my Ph.D. in Organizational Behaviour from London Business School, and B.Sc. in Psychology and an M.Sc. in Management from Queen’s University in Canada. I teach Business Ethics at the Yale School of Management.
