Senior Research Investigator, Nudge Unit

Jeff Ebert is a senior research investigator at the Nudge Unit.

Jeff completed his doctorate in social psychology at Harvard University in 2008. Earlier at Swarthmore College, he majored in psychology and minored in computer science. He has published in leading journals on diverse topics, including self-control, perceptions of agency, and implicit bias.
