I am at the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Sciences where I teach a 2nd-year undegraduate course in cogntiive psychology on the BSc in Psychological and Behavioural Science. In addition, I supervise master students at the MSc in the Psychology of Economic Life.
I explore how we can generate sustainable environments, incentivise better deliberative and democratic norms, and to lessen discrimination in society. To do so, my research revoles around two themes: the psychology of persuasion and complex human-environment systems.
I research how people update personal beliefs when they encounter new information. I use cognitive models to explore aspects such as source credibility, political persuasion, and discriminatory reasoning. This area explores how the same cognitive processes may yield completely different outcomes (e.g. how one person may become a climate change denier while another does not).
