I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Marketing (Consumer Behavior) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
I study how social identity signals, communication cues, and privacy information shape consumer judgement and decision-making in digital and service contexts.
How do consumers respond to service providers from stigmatized or disadvantaged groups (e.g., people with disabilities, pregnant women) in positive ways?
How do digital communication cues—such as service message format and social media sharing—shape the impressions people form and the choices they make?
Consumer Privacy
Why do consumers make very different privacy choices online? How can platforms help consumers make more informed, confident decisions about their data?
