Now an Advisor at the Behavioural Insights Team, Trisha was a Research Assistant at the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab where she worked to understand, measure, and counter misinformation pertaining to vaccine hesitancy. Prior to Cambridge, she completed her MSc in Behavioural and Economic Science and BA (Hons) in Philosophy Politics and Economics at the University of Warwick.
