Dyson Professor of Marketing, Director of the Food and Brand Lab and Co-Director of the Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs.  He is best known for his work on consumer behavior and food; his research has focused on how micro-environments influence what and how much people eat and how much they enjoy it.
