About me

I am a Business Economist, working as a researcher/lecturer at Brunel University London. I received my PhD in emerging sustainable technology acceptance from the Department of Economics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). My PhD dissertation aimed at examining consumers' decision-making and risk responsibility related to the use of food biotechnology.

My research also concerns sustainable consumption and innovative business models. Examples of specific research interests include examining the role of bioeconomy in a transition towards a sustainable food system, public acceptance of novel food technologies, and business models in sustainable circular economies.
