I am an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Prior to joining Booth, I completed my PhD in Decision Processes at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. I also obtained a BSc in Psychology (University of Freiburg) and a BA in Business (DHBW Karlsruhe), both in Germany, and worked as a Research Assistant at the Harvard Kennedy School.
