“The ethos of my work has been to take a critical eye to well accepted views and challenge the status quo. As a result, my research interests cover a range of areas that include decision-making, learning, problem-solving, biases, risk and uncertainty, agency and control, and the unconscious. My research helps answer questions like: How do we make decisions in uncertain situation? Does our unconscious rule our behaviour?”
