Huanren Zhang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Southern Denmark, Faculty of Social Sciences. His research lies at the intersection of behavioral economics, game theory, and organizational behavior, with a focus on strategic and risky decision-making, social norms, coordination, and learning. He employs experimental methods, computational modeling, and theoretical analysis to investigate human and organizational behaviors.

His research interests include:

• Strategic decision-making and coordination under uncertainty
• Social preferences and cooperation in social dilemmas
• Human and organizational learning processes
• Emotion and economic decisions
• Innovation ecosystems and technological interdependencies
• Gender identity and information salience in coordination

The most recent articles reflect a strong trend in experimental and behavioral economics, particularly in understanding how individuals and groups coordinate under uncertainty, respond to inequality, and navigate emotional influences in economic contexts. His work increasingly integrates interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology and management, especially in studying innovation ecosystems and gender dynamics.
