I am interested in writing and co-imagining alternative futures for humanity and promoting future thinking among current and future business leaders. I do this with my students in the scenario planning workshops (HEG, Geneva) and on my own, through my hard science-fiction stories. One of my current research project aims to create a training tool for intergenerational dilemmas for finance leaders. Like ethical dilemmas, deciding for the future generation(s) cannot be answered unambiguously. It involves complex trade-offs in costs and benefits that we tend to resolve by heavily discounting the future. This needs to change if humanity wants to surpass the current multi-crises related to climate change. The way I address is is through training for decision-makers that involves creating memories of the future.

I am an expert in neuroscience and behavioral economics/psychology of decision-making, especially in the context of uncertainty (finance) and sustainablity (moral judgment).

Besides foresight, my research at the Lab for Uncertainty, Collective Intelligence and Decision-Making focuses on future modes for decision-making including computational diplomacy, collaborative innovation and sustainability problem solving through AI-aided crowd intelligence. I also teach psychology of finance/neurofinance at the University of Geneva, hold a PhD in cognitive neurosciences and am a mom of a 2-year old.
