Expertise and research interests
The focus of my research is in the area of environmental and sustainability psychology, behavioral insights and nudging.
I seek to understand and, if necessary, change human experience and behavior in the context of the interaction of humans with their environment. A specific focus is on changing unsustainable behavior in areas such as energy, food, transportation, or consumption.
In teaching, I am involved in various modules such as Environmental Psychology I & II, Literature Colloquium, or Behavioral Psychology.
