I am interested in topics from
-
social psychology, particularly: communication, ecological functionalism and adaptive rationality
- the cognitive sciences
-
computational linguistics
and their application in the context of public health, society and politics.
Across topics, I have a keen interest in theorizing, experimental design and statistical methods.
Prior projects included research in the following fields:

-
Language & Cognition: Serial Reproduction of Verbal Material (Retelling), e.g. of person descriptions, food characteristics, likelihood estimates
-
Judgment and Decision Making: Advice Taking, Hindsight Bias, Rule of Succession
Public Health and Social Cognition
- Advice Taking in Health-Related Contexts
