Short presentation
I am a postdoctoral researcher dedicated to exploring pro-social behavior, with a primary focus on addressing environmental and health challenges.
In my research, I am trying to understand the factors that drive individuals and communities toward sustainable and healthy choices. My work centers on finding innovative ways (for example using virtual reality) to promote and investigate healthy and sustainable behavior for a greener and more sustainable future.
