Advancing the health of the planet and its inhabitants
with psychological insights
I strive to advance the health of the planet and its inhabitants through my psychological expertise. I conduct research on various environmental topics, teach environmental psychology at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and collaborate with and offer consulting services to local and international environmental organizations.
Research Programs
I study how humans behave in relation to the environment. My primary research focuses include: (i) to understand how people perceive their relationship with nature and the emotional and behavioral implications of such perceptions; (ii) to explore the cross-national variability of phenomena related to environmental attitudes and pro-environmental behavior; (iii) to examine human responses to the problem of climate change, such as climate change anxiety, support for climate policies, and conspiracy theories.
