Social scientist using experimental, computational, and interdisciplinary methods.
Originally trained as an economist, I now use a wide array of interdisciplinary experimental methods, integrating LLMs, AI and ML as well as ethnographic methods into experimental research.
My research primarily focuses on judgement and decision making of human and AI actors. In 2023 I did a research visit to rural Laos to analyze social networks as part of an interdisciplinary research project between behavioural economics and anthropology. We currently prepare the next visit.
Currently, I am a Post-Doc in the area of Behavioural Economics and Manager of the KD²Lab at Karlsruhe Institue of Technology (KIT) and I am associated with the KD²School. Before I worked at the economics faculty of Heidelberg University and was associated with the field of focus on Self-Regulation and Regulation: Individuals and Societies of Heidelberg University.
