I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law and recently completed a PhD in behavioural economics at the University of Queensland, supervised by Daniel Zizzo, Carlos Oyarzun, and Alexandros Karakostas. My research focuses on the `dark side' of human behaviour, that is, why do people act in malicious ways and what can we do about it.

As part of this, I focus on applying the the principles of methodological convergence by combining the three pillars of resarch: theory, observation, and experimentation. Theory allows us to specify the nature of a behaviour through game theoretic analysis, observation allows us to test if this behaviour is externally valid through examining real-world data, and experimentation allows us to confirm whether this behaviour is internally valid through applying highly controlled laboratory experiments.

By combining these three pillars, my research aims to deliver highly rigorous and replicable insights that improve our understanding of social norms, antisocial behaviour, exploitation, deception, and more. I have also worked with think tanks and consulting firms on topics such as the effectiveness of workforce matching programs, migration trends, housing affordability, and education performance.
