Why do individuals, even financial professionals, often make sub-optimal decisions? And what can we do about it? 

Many answers can be found in psychology. Therefore, I conduct fundamental and practically relevant research in behavioral finance, with the aim to understand investor behavior and support individuals and organizations to make better decisions. Given comtemporary developments, I take into account the ongoing digitization in the financial industry (FinTech) and also sustainability considerations. My work has been  published in many journals inlcuding The Review of Financial Studies, Management Science and the Review of Finance. I am affiliated with the Swiss FinTech Innovation Lab. Further, I am Scientific Board Member Society for Experimental Finance and Associate with BhFS Behavioural Finance Solutions, Zurich, Switzerland. In the latter I use my insights to consult banks and insurance companies to improve their products and services. I have been teaching relevant courses at 10+ institutions world-wide on all levels including exec education.
