Welcome

I am passionately dedicated to researching the behavioural aspects of climate change adaptation, particularly on individuals who have experienced extreme weather events.

My primary research approach involves conducting experiments and integrating insights from psychology, economics, and planning studies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of adaptation behaviours, especially in challenging decision-making contexts.

This research serves a dual purpose: guiding the development of interventions that promote pro-environmental behaviours and offering valuable insights for stakeholders involved in climate change adaptation initiatives.
