Research Overview<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

My research explores how artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes expert decision-making in high-stakes environments such as healthcare and financial markets. I examine when AI augments human judgment and when it creates new vulnerabilities. Using field and lab experiments, econometric analysis, and design science, I offer theoretical and practical insights into responsible AI adoption in professional domains.<\/span><\/p>\n
