Research Overview
Research Interests
My research explores how digital incentives and AI-driven personalization shape pro-environmental behaviors and sustainable consumption. I am especially interested in the design and implications of mobile sustainability apps, and the broader societal impacts of hyper-personalized technologies. My work integrates experimental methods, agent-based modeling, and qualitative inquiry to understand the micro- and macro-level effects of digital technologies in sustainability contexts.
• Sustainability and digital technologies
• Personalization and incentives
• AI and pro-environmental behavior
• Digital well-being
• Agent-based modeling in IS research
• Green IS and societal impact
