ABOUT ME
I'm a 22 year-old explorer, venturing the world for all of its beauty and interconnectedness. To me, the divisions we make between different academic disciplines are arbitrary, and while fostering great developments through specializations, often miss out on the true value of integrative research. I am driven to close this gap in the area I am interested in, working in the intersection between psychology, economics, management, public policy and neuroscience; some call this field 'behavioural economics', others 'decision-making' - for me, it is about a more holistic and positive outlook on the cognitive biases humans exhibit. From this perspective, crisis and problems appear in a new, different light, one that renders current approaches irrelevant and focuses on how to solve the major issues we are facing today differently, and ultimately, hopefully, better.
Interests
Persistence is what get things done at the end of the day. A powerful analogy for persistence is running, and the long runs I take through beautiful countryside is what gives me peace and motivation.
