Expertise

My research examines judgment and decision-making related to food, agriculture, and the environment.

My research examines how people make judgments and decisions in situations of  uncertainty. How do perceptions of climate variability and related biases influence agricultural practices? What drives adoption of sustainable food and agricultural technologies? How can policies be designed to shape environmental behavior and outcomes?
