Current Research Interests

  • Human cooperation and how social norms develop and influence decision making in groups
  • (Voluntary) ignorance: People sometimes voluntarily avoid information to behave more selfishly. Yet, a lot of variability in people's behavior is observed in this regard when they decide for themselves. However, people do often make decisions in a social context, where they can observe how others choose and behave. We try to find out how such social feedback can result in the emergence of shared (but implicit) social norms on information avoidance or, instead, information seeking. 
  • Machine learning / data simulation
