Elke Weber is the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor at Princeton University, affiliated with the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment as well as the School of Public and International Affairs. Her research focuses on the intersection of psychological theory and social problems, promoting a dialogue to develop constructive solutions for real-world challenges. Weber's work includes investigating how finite-capacity information processors judge, decide, and act in a partially predictable world, particularly in the context of environmental and financial decision-making. She draws on both lab and field experiments to examine individual, group, and cultural differences in risk assessment and decision-making processes. By analyzing data on behavioral outcomes and brain activation, she aims to provide insights that help individuals and social planners design better decision environments that utilize the full range of human capabilities. Weber holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University and emphasizes the importance of translating basic research into applied settings.
