I study the psychology of everyday decision making. I am most interested in how we get trapped into making poor choices for ourselves.

At the Media Lab I am helping to develop novel technologies that encourage people to be more reflective of their psychological pitfalls, and to be more socially accountable in their actions, especially as consumers.

My background is in cognitive science and the history and anthropology of science & technology.
