📚 My Research

I have demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence in research with a particular focus on consumer welfare and marketing communication. My research seeks to address real-world challenges and improve consumer decision-making through innovative strategies and technologies.

My primary research pipeline explores how consumers can make better decisions with AI technology. For example, I investigate how to design AI-powered assistants that nudge individuals toward healthier eating habits and increased physical activity.

I am also deeply interested in improving communication (consumer-to-consumer, mechanism-to-consumer). My doctoral thesis examines how to design effective referral messages for senders in referral reward programs (RRPs), aiming to optimize referral effectiveness.
