Research Focus

I enjoy addressing complex sustainability issues and finding innovative solutions through transdisciplinary and participatory research methods. I have experience in facilitating knowledge co-creation processes between academics, practitioners, and policy-makers to develop practical solutions for societal issues. I am also keen on case study research and teaching, leveraging project-based learning to drive student engagement with real-world challenges.
