My current research focuses on building deep integrations of AI tools into behavioral science research workflows to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. My work applies computational methods to automate and improve scientific research processes, from hypothesis generation and experimental design to data analysis and theory development.

My background includes a doctorate in marketing from the MIT Sloan School of Management, postdoctoral research at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs, and an undergraduate foundation in neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley. I am Assistant Professor of Marketing and David Eccles Emerging Scholar at the Eccles School of Business, University of Utah. For research consulting inquires, please visit System 3 Labs.
