Hi! I’m Almudena Claassen and I study everyday decisions, in particular about food. I am interested in social inequalities, how social context shapes what and how much people eat, and the mismatch between modern food environments and the intuitive decision strategies people bring to them. My research develops tools to help people make healthier and more sustainable choices, drawing on behavioural experiments, computational methods, and network analysis. I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Adaptive Rationality at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin. Before that I held a postdoc at the University of Glasgow and completed my PhD in Social Psychology at the Université libre de Bruxelles.
