I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. My research investigates the psychology of consumer judgment and decision-making.
Prior to joining Booth, I earned a PhD in Decision Processes at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. I also completed a BSc in Psychology (University of Freiburg) and a BA in Business (DHBW Karlsruhe), both in Germany. My CV is available here.
