Urša Krenk

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Zurich, working at the intersection of labor, behavioral, and development economics, with a particular focus on how gender dynamics and artificial intelligence shape human behavior in the context of organizations. I am also an affiliate and managing director at the Social Catalyst Lab. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich and an MSc in Economics from the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics.
