Research Interests

Introduction

I am a researcher dedicated to exploring the dynamics of cooperation and pro-environmental behaviors within social dilemmas. My work combines theoretical insights with practical applications to foster sustainable practices and collective action. By analyzing the intersection of individual motivations and group dynamics, I aim to contribute to meaningful policy development.

Research Focus

My research primarily investigates the factors that facilitate cooperation in social dilemmas, particularly concerning environmental sustainability. I focus on group interactions and the dynamics of behavior, examining how social norms and heterogeneity influence decision-making processes within communities. By understanding these interactions, I aim to identify strategies that encourage pro-environmental behaviors and support the transition to more sustainable practices at both individual and societal levels. Additionally, I explore the concepts of tipping points and social tipping interventions to inform effective policy measures.

Methodologies

My research employs a diverse range of methodologies, including experimental approaches and mathematical modeling, to unravel the complexities of social dilemmas. Through controlled experiments, I assess the impact of various interventions on cooperation levels, while my modeling efforts focus on simulating group interactions and exploring the underlying mechanisms that promote collective action. This multi-faceted approach allows me to generate robust insights into the conditions necessary for fostering cooperation, advancing social welfare, and addressing pressing environmental issues.
