I’m Professor of Economic Psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I am also Affiliate of the Developmental Economics Group at STICERD and of the Data Science Institute. I work on human evolution and cultural evolution. I am a 2024 Philip Leverhulme Prize Winner.

My research focuses on answering three broad questions: Why are humans so different to other animals? What are the psychological and evolutionary processes that underlie culture and social change, and how is information transmitted, maintained, and modified How can the answers to these questions be used to tackle some of the challenges we face as a species?
