About me.
I am an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Social Science at the Stevens Institute of Technology (go Ducks!).
In my research I am interested in the psychology of social class: how people think about socioeconomic stratification and economic inequality, and the role that psychological processes play in the maintenance of social class hierarchies.
I am also interested in the study of implicit bias: how and why individuals’ automatic responses are influenced by social categories, and the social and behavioral consequences of these responses.
Another line of work revolves around naturalistic social cognition: how we can better study and model people’s responses to complex naturalistic stimuli and contexts, and what we miss when we study phenomena––especially person perception and implicit bias––via simplified experimental paradigms.
