About
My research examines how people make decisions with ethical consequences. In my latest research, I study the impact of performing computer programming on response to moral dilemmas like the trolley problem. This work has generated some interesting findings that extend our understanding of moral decision making, autonomous vehicles and algorithmic bias.
Another stream of research examines how and why consumers might put off purchase decisions, and examines the downstream consequences of doing so. This work extends our understanding of online consumer decision making, when consumers are likely to make multiple purchase decisions together.
