Unfortunately still here (X).

I work on behavioural science and environmental policy. 

I am interested in fostering ethical applications of behavioural insights and have co-developed the nudge FORGOOD framework. 

I am also working on the identification and the removal of sludge particularly when it prevents us from reaching our environmental targets. I am the PI of the Irish EPA-funded research project ABICAP (Assessing Administrative Burdens in Ireland's Climate Action Plan) that runs 2023 - 2025. 

I am interested in behavioural welfare economics. 

I also conduct research on non-standard economic preferences (e.g., present bias).

I frequently use the Day Reconstruction Method to measure everyday experiences (e.g., desires and happiness).
