I am currently an assistant professor in the Managerial and Organizational Behavior group at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. In June of 2007, I received my Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Harvard University, where I studied with Max Bazerman, Nick Epley, and Dan Gilbert. My dissertation explored some differences in how people perceive events that have already happened in the past compared to those that will happen in the future, with an emphasis on understanding the implications of these differences for moral and ethical decision making.

My interest in the psychology of judgment and decision making first developed when I was an undergraduate at Princeton University, primarily in the course of taking classes and doing research with Eldar Shafir and Daniel Kahneman. After graduating from Princeton in 1998, I spent about four years conducting primary research on consumer behavior in the Customer Research Group at Digitas, a Boston-based marketing firm.
