Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Economics

As a PhD candidate, I am deeply immersed in economics research, with a particular focus on analyzing human behavior and its impact on diverse economic matters. In my current project, I am investigating the underlying behavioral factors that attract sports bettors significantly to popular betting products, employing economics experiments as my methodology. Professor Ralph Christopher Bayer is my primary supervisor.
My doctoral thesis focuses on the behavioural economics of betting, with a particular emphasis on understanding the psychological factors that drive the growing attraction to trendy sports betting.
