Hello! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kellogg School of Management. I work within the Dispute Resolution Research Center and the Management & Organizations Department. I completed my Ph.D. at the Harvard Kennedy School in the Management, Leadership, and Decision Sciences Area. In Summer 2023, I will start as an Assistant Professor of Management at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business.
My research integrates theory and methods from psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral economics to examine conflict and collaboration. My primary line of research tests how disagreement over decision processes shapes our reputations, often in unexpected ways. This theory-driven research program uncovers when and why avoiding cognitive biases (e.g., sunk cost fallacy, loss-gain framing effects) undermines trust. I also identify communication strategies leaders can use to maintain trust. In a second line of work, I examine disagreement over strongly-held attitudes (e.g., politics), especially mis-perceptions of conflict counterparts and interventions to overcome these mis-perceptions. My CV is available here.
