I'm a behavioral scientist who believes that we can answer fundamental questions about human nature with the scientific method. I work on questions like: How do we make and break social connections? When do we succeed (and fail) at understanding what other people care about? How does social technology change us? How does our brain distinguish objects from people? Why do we sometimes get it wrong and treat objects like people, or, treat people like objects? I use my research background to teach students how behavioral science and social psychology can be leveraged for consumer engagement and brand growth. I'm a research affiliate at Harvard and an Associate Professor at Minerva, where I helped build the Business College and now work on partnerships in the Professional Learning space. Minerva is a "challenger" university looking to transform education across the lifespan. Students travel around the globe as a cohort and I teach small, interactive seminars via a real-time cloud classroom; it's strange how quickly it feels completely normal. The Atlantic once asked if Minerva was the future of college — while that remains to be seen, it's a pretty exciting adventure.
