Face Perception & Consumer Behavior
In my main program of research, I study consumer facial stereotypes and how people make consumption inferences and decisions based on others' facial appearance.
This research has implications as faces are ever more central in social interactions offline and online (e.g., selfies, profile pictures, videoconferences) and facial data is increasingly available with the development of facial detection technologies.
Consumers' Responses to Contemporary Challenges
I am broadly interested in how consumers respond to contemporary challenges, for instance the advent of technology (e.g., the mere presence of smartphones), societal threats (e.g., distrust in institutions) or resource limitations (e.g., space).
I hope my findings can provide insights for marketing practice as well as for consumer welfare.
