Bio
My research explores how humans interact with and are inseparable from the physical environment they inhabit. Environmental problems are complex and rarely can they be adequately addressed through a single methodological approach. I draw from the fields of environmental science, economics, political science, psychology, and urban planning in order to examine complex yet rational solutions. I am particularly interested in industrial ecology and the environmental consequences of technology; the role of nongovernmental organizations and corporate engagement in ecological issues; pro-environmental behavior (e.g. recycling); and the effect of transportation choices on the environment.
