profile

Ph.D. candidate specialising in system transitions at the intersection of sustainability, finance, and human behaviour.

Driven by a fascination for how complex systems shape individual and societal outcomes, I seek to apply systems thinking and behavioural science to support sustainable change and human flourishing.

My work combines research, simulation modelling, science communication, and interdisciplinary problem-solving, enabling me to bridge academic insight and practical decision-making.
