I am a Lecturer (~ Assistant Professor) at the University of St Andrews.
My primary research interests lie at the intersection of psychology and experimental economics. Most of my work is on cooperation, norms, and institutions, as well as personality. I am particularly interested in preferences for institutions to govern collective action problems such as climate change.
I run the Cooperation Colloquia, an online talk series on cooperation research.
I like collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and open science.
