Ms Mimi Fakhri

I am a lecturer in Business and Management at LSBU Business School.  I joined LSBU in 2024.

I fascinated by understanding what makes people tick: what drives their thoughts, feelings and behaviour.   I have over 18 years of experience in consumer insight and marketing.

My academic background is in the psychology of judgement and decision-making, and I am also a qualified psychological therapist.  My research interests bring these two areas together: the psychology of uncertainty, the impact of emotions on decision-making, and loss aversion.  My current research focuses on the psychological experience of uncertainty and its impact on decision-making.  I am also interested in stress management and psychological wellbeing at work and in student life.
