My research focuses on the complex interconnections between the environment, health, and human behavior, emphasizing how these factors interact and influence one another. Using an interdisciplinary approach, my research focuses on three key areas:
(1) To investigate the health impacts of climate change, including how rising temperatures, extreme weather, and changes in ecosystems affect physical and mental health in various populations;
(2) Examine critical environmental problems, governance systems, and management issues with their impact on environmental justice.
(3) Understand the perceptions, education, knowledge, motivation, and willingness of individuals in developing countries to adopt pro-environmental behaviors, recognizing that people's attitudes and beliefs about the environment can lead to meaningful changes in their communities.
Through this multidisciplinary lens, my work aims to generate knowledge that informs practical solutions for both communities and ecosystems.
