Advancing the health of people and nature
with psychological insights
I strive to advance the health of people and nature through my psychological expertise. I conduct research on a range of environmental issues, teach environmental psychology at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and consulting with local and international organizations to drive meaningful change.
I investigate the intricate ways in which humans interact with the environment. My research centers on three key areas: (i) uncovering the connections between people's interactions with nature and their health and behavior; (ii) exploring how culture and contextual factors shape human-environment relationships; and (iii) analyzing how individuals respond to climate change, focusing on the psychological processes that drive potential solutions.
