Research Focus:Her work centers on microeconomic theory, particularly information processing, learning under model misspecification, and discrimination mechanisms. She explores how cognitive constraints, limited attention, and memory affect belief formation and decision-making, with applications to online labor markets, policy design, and committee structures. Her empirical studies use field experiments on online platforms to analyze gender-based discrimination dynamics.
Scientific Contributions:She developed PowerCalc software (2016) for experimental design under interference and created frameworks for misspecified learning models, influencing understanding of social learning failures and biases in belief formation.
