Hey, this is Georgia!
I am a research scientist in economics at NYUAD. My research field is behavioral and experimental economics with a focus on ethics, morality, and distributive justice. I use laboratory and field experiments in which people face incentivized ethical dilemmas and I develop behavioral models that describe norm-compliant behavior. I am particularly interested on how local social norms affect ethical decision-making. Lately, I have also been working on the ethics of AI.
