Research Interests
My research interests are in judgment and decision making broadly defined. I study both normative and descriptive decision making using a variety of techniques including mathematical modeling, surveys, field observations, and experimental lab studies. I've recently extended my decision making research to applied settings in product design and medical decision making. I also do research in applied statistics.
