Craig R. Fox, Ph.D.

I am Professor of Strategy and Policy at UCLA Anderson School of Management, Professor of Psychology at UCLA, and Co-Director of the UCLA Interdisciplinary Research Group in Behavioral Decision Making. I joined the UCLA faculty in 2003 after six years at the Fuqua School of Business (Duke University), where I remain an adjunct faculty member.

I earned undergraduate degrees in economics and psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, where I completed my thesis work under the supervision of Daniel Kahneman. I received an M.A. and Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Stanford University under the supervision of the late Amos Tversky. I am a former associate editor of Management Science, and currently on the editorial boards of Organization Behavior and Human Decision Processes, the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making, and Judgment and Decision Making

I teach MBA and executive courses in managerial decision-making, negotiation, leadership, strategy, and dynamic management, as well as Ph.D. courses in decision making. I have previously taught at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, the Kellogg Graduate School of Management (Northwestern University), Columbia University, Stanford University, and the Australian Graduate School of Management. In addition, I have been a visiting scholar at New York University, the University of Mannheim, and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Tom Schonberg

I am currently a post-doc in the Department of Psychology in UCLA. I started my studies in 1999 in the interdisciplinary program for excellent students in Tel Aviv university where I also received my M.A. in Psychobiology. In 2009 I completed my PhD in Tel Aviv University, under the supervision of Daphna Joel, co-supervised by John O'Doherty from Caltech. My dissertation research focused on reinforcement learning in the striatum: how these signals are correlated with learning in simple decision making in healthy subjects and how these signals are affected by the dopamine depletion in Parkinson's disease. In collaboration with Prof. Fox and Prof. Poldrack we are currently pursuing the underlying neural and behavioral factors underlying decision making under risk.

Emily Barkley-Levenson

I am a graduate student in Psychology, in the Cognitive Neuroscience area. I graduated from Pomona College in 2006 with a B.A. in Psychology and Music, and worked for a year as a research assistant at Princeton University’s Center for the Study of Brain, Mind and Behavior. I am interested in using neuroimaging techniques to explore the interaction of emotion and cognition in decision-making.

Adam Fowler

Originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, I moved to Los Angeles in 2005 to pursue my education and interests in politics. I taught at the University of Arkansas while earning a master?s degree in political theory and am currently working on a Ph.D. in Political Science at UCLA. My research focuses on attitude formation and party identification. Specifically, my work seeks to integrate a theory of perception into how we understand political attitude formation. More recently I have been working with Professor Fox on the role social influence plays in voter turnout. Outside of academics, I enjoy California politics, jam bands, Trader Joe's and southern writers.

Jim Ostler

I am a doctoral student in the Policy and Strategy area in the Anderson School of Management. My research interests are in learning and decision making under uncertainty. I have experience working at a Silicon Valley startup, a Fortune 500 firm, and as a consultant to firms in the automotive, semiconductor and CPG sectors. I have a BS and MS in engineering and an MBA from BYU.

Sara Parker

I am a first year doctoral student in Policy and Strategy area at the Anderson School. I earned my bachelor's degree in International Relations and Economics from Wellesley College in 2005. Before coming to UCLA, I worked as a fellow for the McKinsey Global Institute, during which time I worked on projects in health care and income inequality. My research interests are the impact of decision-making under uncertainty on firm strategy, particularly in the health care sector. In my free time (such as it is) I enjoy reading fiction.

Alice Wieland

Alice Wieland is a fourth year doctoral student in Human Resources and Organizational Behavior at the Anderson School of Management. Before entering the PhD program at Anderson she worked for several years as a public accountant, consultant and finance manager. Ms. Wieland holds an MBA degree from the Marshall School of Business at USC, (2003), an MA in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University (2000), and a BS is Accountancy from the Stern School of Business at NYU. Her research interests include how various conceptions of the self influence perceptions of risk in situational contexts, gender roles and decision-making, and entrepreneurial decision-making. Additionally, Ms. Wieland is also interested in how cognitive buffers can be activated in defense of environmental threats to one's identity.
