Primary research areas

Con­sumer be­ha­vi­or
I primar­ily in­vest­ig­ate con­sumer be­ha­vi­or re­lat­ing to con­sumer food be­ha­vi­or, con­sumer sustain­ability be­ha­vi­or and con­sumer fin­an­cial be­ha­vi­or.
Ap­plied stat­ist­ics
I’m primar­ily in­ter­ested in how vari­ous qual­it­at­ive data­sets (e.g., news­pa­pers, tele­vi­sion pro­grammes, etc.) can be trans­lated into quant­it­at­ive stat­ist­ic­al mod­els, such as struc­tur­al equa­tion mod­els, or oth­er types of stat­ist­ic­al mod­els.

How in­sights into con­sumer be­ha­vi­or cre­ate so­ci­et­al value

Overall, my research interests include consumer behavior, marketing research methods, financial decision-making, and sustainable consumption. Specifically, I explore challenges such as risky financial behavior, dietary stress, and sustainable consumption, aiming to improve consumer decision-making and public policy.  

My research enhances public understanding of consumer behavior, influencing policy, business practices, and societal well-being.  

My ambition is to bridge academic insights with real-world impact - helping both public institutions and private companies make informed, socially responsible decisions. Particularly, my work guides companies or organizations in understanding consumer motivations and helps individuals make better financial and food-related choices.
