To achieve sustainability goals and effectively prevent waste, we must instigate profound changes in our lifestyles. This will require changes to restructuring the social and economic foundations underpinning our society. Consequently, my research endeavors are grounded in an interdisciplinary approach to generate and disseminate novel insights into waste prevention, waste management, and individual consumption behaviors vis-à-vis the natural environment.

Throughout my academic journey, I have spearheaded diverse projects encompassing multifaceted facets of waste prevention, behavior modeling, life-cycle analysis, education, energy, food, and plastic waste. These projects have been marked by collaboration across an extensive spectrum of disciplines, including Design, Sociology, Engineering, and Psychology. My work has also extended beyond academics, involving partnerships with external entities such as local government departments, national associations, and non-governmental organizations.

In the realm of education, a central objective of my lectures is to foster critical engagement among students regarding pressing environmental and societal issues. Topics like climate change, food security, well-being, social justice, and contemporary paradigms are explored, with a particular emphasis on examining how engineering can respond to these formidable challenges.
