I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Climate Cognition Lab, led by Prof. Madalina Vlasceanu, within the Environmental Social Sciences Department at Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.

My research explores how individuals' thoughts and behaviors scale up to shape collective phenomena. I use experiments and computational methods to address social challenges like economic inequality, climate change inaction, and institutional bias. 

My academic career began at San Diego Mesa Community College. After a couple of years I transferred to the University of California, San Diego where I received my BA in psychology. After graduating, I received my MA in psychology at San Diego State University. At SDSU I also met my brilliant wife Ashley Berkebile-Weinberg, whose work examines the complex ways in which we navigate interpersonal conflicts and connections. 

I received my PhD in Psychology at New York University, with the support of my advisors Dave Amodio and Madalina Vlasceanu. My dissertation focused on the complex ways in which individuals are shaped by the systems they inhabit, and, in turn, how individuals’ behaviors contribute to these systems. 

After graduating from NYU I began a postdoctoral fellowship in the Management Division at Columbia Business School, where I had the privilege of collaborating with brilliant colleagues and teaching Managerial Negotiations in the MBA program.
