Research
2022 - Present
Postdoctoral Research Fellow | Copenhagen Business School
I am currently leading multiple experimental interventions focused on sustainable consumer economics. These interventions encompass both online and field experiments, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of sustainable behavioral interventions together with more traditional economic and fiscal policies. To learn more about the BeaCon project, you can read about it here.
2024
Visiting Scholar | University of Cambridge
During this research stay, I have developed the design and ran the pilot data collection of one of my latest RCT "Carbon Taxes Crowd-out Climate Concerns" in collaboration with my co-author and host Lucia Reisch, director of the El-Erian Institute of Behavioural Economics & Policy.
2018 - 2021
PhD in Economics | University of Copenhagen
In my previous research, I have conducted a controlled field experiment related to information provision and its impact on consumer behavior in the areas of food consumption, environmental awareness, and anthropogenic carbon footprint.
Additionally, I have led a study examining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer behavior, specifically in relation to tobacco consumption. This study utilized a natural experiment design to understand the changes in behavior brought about by the pandemic.
Furthermore, I have explored the dynamics between attention, and decision-making strategies for across-sector research collaborations within the context of an eye-tracking laboratory.
2019
Visiting PhD | North Carolina State University
This research stay was focused on the paper redaction of the eyetracking study in collaboration of my co-author and host Beverly Tyler "Information acquisition and cognitive processes during strategic decision-making: combining a policy-capturing study with eye-tracking data." published in PLOS ONE in 2022.
2020
Visiting PhD | University of California San Diego
This research stay was planned but annulled because of COVID-19.

- BEACON – funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation – grant #NNF21SA0069203
The BeaCon project explores and tests behavioral changes towards sustainable lifestyles to support the building of a Circular Society. While our research focuses on food consumption experiments in a real world, urban setting, our findings apply to other consumption areas and systems of provision. The two field experiments have been developed in collaboration with the local municipality.

- MYCOFLAVOR – funded by AgriFoodTure - grant #1152-00024A
The assigned Working Package focuses on gathering experimental evidence to develop a market strategy for the product introduction of upscaling for brewer's spent grain (BSG) derivatives employed to create meat-like gastronomical alternatives.

- ØTTO MONSTEDS – travel grant funded by Øtto Monsteds Foundation
​
-
CO2FOOD – partnership with tech company Spenderlog (internally funded within PhD budget)
A field experiment on information provision and consumer behavior in the framework of individual habits with an impact on climate change (food consumption and carbon footprint) via a smartphone app.
​
- INTERACT – funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation – grant #21630
This research project explores the microfoundations that underlie the transmission of knowledge from university to industry and that will ultimately lead to socioeconomic impact. A choice experiment was conducted with university researchers and company employees in the food and science field to validate the underlying mechanisms of university-industry collaboration by investigating the decision-making criteria to collaborate.
