Simone Griesser
Simone Griesser is a doctoral candidate in the Marketing Department at Warwick Business School supervised by Prof Qing Wang and Prof Thomas Hills from the Psychology Department of Warwick University.
Simone researches how language transforms decision-making. Her current research analyses consumer perceptions in Social Media with a computational linguistic approach. Addressing luxury and non-luxury brands, she found a mismatch in linguistic communication styles in terms of language abstractness, which influences expensiveness perceptions, brand liking, and purchase intentions.
She is broadly interested in research topics that lie at the intersection of technology and (consumer) behaviour. In addition, she is interested in studying new ways of leveraging unstructured language data to generate fresh insights that go beyond topic modelling and frequencies.
Simone is experienced in qualitative, experimental, and quantitative data collection and analysis. She writes scripts in R and Python, but is equally familiar with SPSS or Nvivo and has presented her research at ACR, EMAC and SPSP. Before entering academia, she spent over a decade in industry and thus has a profound understanding and appreciation for business processes and solutions.
Currently she works as a research associate for the AI Innovation Network in addition to teaching. She is an Associate Fellow of The Higher Education Academy and has ample teaching and mentoring experience.
