Her research examines how individual and contextual factors motivate environmental and ecological choices across different consumer and citizen lifestyle domains (e.g., diet, food waste, fashion, altruistic actions like giving time and money) and how they can be deployed in behaviourally &lsquo;smart&rsquo; informational campaigns, nudges, and incentives to create sustainable habits. She uses experimental and data science methods. She has completed a PhD in Environmental Economics and a Master&rsquo;s in Public Administration at the LSE, and a Master&rsquo;s in Development Studies at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. Prior to academia, she worked with the International Food Policy Research Institute on agricultural and food security policy in India, Nepal, China, and Tajikistan.<\/p>\n<p><em>Current projects include:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/forestlab\/\">forestLAB<\/a>: Explores conservation behaviour and attitudes amongst rural and urban communities in Gabon.
