I study how individuals apprehend financial risks, by investigating both actual behavior and its neural bases. I use the knowledge and methodological tools of several fields – chiefly experimental economics, financial economics, and computational neuroscience – to better understand why market participants behave the way they do. I do research and teaching in this area.
I am currently collaborating with researchers in Economics, Finance, and Cognitive Neuroscience. I am teaching the Behavioral Finance course at the UNSW Business School from March 2011.
I was also a Visiting Associate at Caltech from 2010 to 2014.
I earned my PhD (from the Swiss Finance Institute at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in 2009. I am also a former student from the École Normale Supérieure de la Rue d’Ulm.

Off tenure clock during academic years 2011, 2014 and 2016 due to maternity leaves.
