Using behavioral experiments, quantitative modeling, and neuroeconomic methods, I investigate the underpinnings of perception, preferences, and decision-making in emotionally charged contexts across three lines of research spanning risky, intertemporal, and social choices. I use a wide range of techniques including online, lab and field experiments, eye-tracking, psychometrics, and psychophysiological methods.
