Hauser’s research spans four core areas: AI in Organizations (testing generative AI’s impact on creativity), Inclusion & Diversity (designing effective diversity training), Inequality Dynamics (studying perception biases in income gaps), and Cooperation (evolutionary game theory applications). His 2014 Nature paper on intergenerational cooperation remains a policy reference point.
His 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveal consistent focus on AI ethics, organizational fairness, and behavioral interventions using field experiments. Key findings include AI’s dual impact on creativity/diversity, effective diversity training frameworks, and institutional designs that sustain cooperation across generations.
Awards include UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, multiple teaching distinctions, and the Euregio Young Researcher Award. He has secured £3.1m+ in research grants, including the £1.4m BIG IDEAs project on workplace equality. Hauser’s work appears in Nature, Science, and PNAS, with media coverage in Forbes, The Guardian, and Vice.
As an educator, he teaches Behavioral Economics at the University of Exeter Business School. His advisory roles at the Evaluation Task Force and AI Upskilling Fund demonstrate practical policy influence.
