About

I'm a researcher and educator at the intersection of Environmental Psychology, Behavioral Ecological Economics, and Social Innovation. I study what drives and hinders transformative change toward greater sustainability at both the individual and societal levels. Currently, I'm leading a research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) that envisions more sustainable futures within planetary boundaries, ensuring environmental limits are respected while maintaining strong social foundations.
