By exploring these dynamics through interdisciplinary and collaborative research, I strive to contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors shaping individual motivations and behaviors in the face of climate-related risks. My work seeks to generate insights that inform both theoretical advancements and practical decision-making.

My research focuses on advancing our understanding of decision-making processes in response to climate change. Human behavior is influenced by a complex interplay of factors, often obscuring the identification of underlying causal mechanisms. To address this challenge, I adopt an interdisciplinary approach that integrates insights and methods from experimental and behavioral economics alongside related disciplines. Collaboration forms the cornerstone of my work, particularly with partners in the Global South, where the impacts of climate vulnerabilities are most pronounced. These partnerships facilitate context-specific research that is both locally grounded and globally relevant. My methodology emphasizes field experiments, complemented by laboratory studies, online surveys, and lab-in-the-field investigations. Together, these approaches enable me to examine the retrospective impacts of climate risks on solidarity, migration aspirations, and the acceptance of migrants, as well as the prospective evaluation of interventions aimed at fostering sustainable behavioral change.

Through interdisciplinary and collaborative research, I aim to illuminate the factors shaping individual motivations and behaviors in the face of climate-related risks. My goal is to contribute to theoretical advancements and to provide actionable insights for decision-makers addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
