MBBL Symposium: Judgement and decision-making in a complex world
Emotional engagement and risk, entrepreneurial trust, the psychological basis of algorithm aversion and the use of eye tracking to understand complex decision processing are among topics to be explored at this fourth annual Monash Business Behavioural Laboratory (MBBL) Symposium by our interdisciplinary panel of Australian and international scholars.
Over two evenings participants will hear from leading experts in decision neuroscience and behavioural decision making. The program includes opportunities for questions and discussions.

Keynote speakers
Our eminent Keynote Speakers who will open each symposium session are:
Professor Peter Bossaerts Prof Bossaerts is Leverhulme International Professor of Neuroeconomics at the University of Cambridge. He pioneered the use of controlled experimentation in the study of financial markets. He also helped introduce decision and game theory in cognitive neuroscience. Recently, he has started to use computer science to study human and market behaviour under computational complexity. Prof Bossaerts graduated with a PhD from UCLA. Prior to Cambridge, he spent most of his career at Caltech, and he was at the University of Melbourne for six years. He is elected Fellow of the Econometric Society, the Society for The Advancement of Economic Theory, and the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. |
|
Professor Ofir Turel Dr Turel is Professor of Information Systems Management at the University of Melbourne, and a Scholar in Residence at the Brain and Creativity Institute at the University of Southern California (USC). He has published over 170 journal articles in top business, information systems, psychology, and psychiatry journals. He has been recognised in the top 2 per cent of researchers worldwide in a study conducted by Stanford University. His research has been featured in numerous media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Times Higher Education and Rolling Stone. |

Symposium Presenters (A-Z)
Dr Daniel Bennett Dr Bennett is a lecturer in cognitive psychology. He received his PhD in psychology from the University of Melbourne, before being awarded a CJ Martin Early Career Fellowship from the NHMRC to complete a postdoctoral fellowship with Yael Niv at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University. In his research, he uses the methods of computational cognitive science to understand the complex interactions between affect/emotion and cognition. |
|
Associate Professor Georgios Christopoulos Associate Professor and Assistant Dean (Research) (Nanyang Technological University) George Christopoulos holds a Ph.D. in decision neuroscience (Cambridge). He is director of the Culture Science Innovations and chairs the education division of Organizational Neuroscience at the Academy of Management. His research has attracted over USD$3.5m to examine organisational, entrepreneurial and managerial behaviour by combining traditional methods with state-of-the-art experimental, game-theoretic and neurobiological methods. Specific questions relate to dynamics of trust, the impact of the built environment (including office design) on performance and well-being, and mental fatigue using biosensors. |  |
Dr Pablo Franco Dr Franco’s general research interests lie at the intersection of human decision-making and neuroscience. His main line of research focuses on understanding how computational resource constraints affect decision-making. Pablo holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne, a masters in Neuroeconomics from Maastricht University, as well as a Bachelor in Mathematics and a Bachelor in Economics from Universidad de los Andes. Between degrees he worked at the central bank of Colombia as an analyst in the financial stability department. |

Chang Liu Chang is an early career researcher at BrainPark, Monash University. Her research broadly seeks to understand the aetiology and maintenance of mental disorders from a complex systems perspective. Chang has established collaborative partnerships with leading researchers worldwide (e.g., University of Cambridge, UK; Air Force Medical University, China). She is a key contributor to an international multi-disciplinary project on optimising medical staff's mental health and well-being. She uses advanced statistical approaches, particularly complex network analysis, to model multiple pathways and interacting mechanisms driving internalising symptoms among medical staff. Her work has been published in leading psychology and psychiatry journals such as Journal of Affective Disorders, Journal of Behavioural Addictions, and Psychiatry Research. |  |
Associate Professor Carly Moulang Carly conducts multidisciplinary research and is passionate about incorporating psychological research within business disciplines. Carly has won multiple awards for her teaching and research, including a global award from CGMA Global University and Academic Centre for Excellence for Global Distinguished Excellence, Most Influential Lecturer, 2021. |  |
Associate Professor T.T. Niranjan T.T. Niranjan is an associate professor of operations management at SJMSOM, IIT Bombay. His research focuses on the cognitive aspects of operational decision-making for which he uses a range of empirical methodologies including case studies and controlled experiments. His research has won best paper awards at premier academic conferences such as DSI and AOM and has appeared in leading journals such as DSJ, JOM, JSCM, and POM. He serves on the editorial review boards of JBL and JOM and has won the Outstanding Reviewer Award from DSJ. |
