Transdisciplinarity
My work draws from various theoretical frameworks and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of human development. My diverse training in epidemiology, population health, developmental, and educational psychology has equipped me with the capacity for navigation of various scientific paradigms and disciplinary fiel.
Research Focus
Nothing of what we do matters if there is no future for humanity.
Addressing the climate change crisis has become the focal point of my research and advocacy.
My population of interest is children and youth in various socio-cultural contexts.
A multi-faceted and complex phenomenon, climate change requires the concurrent application of multiple disciplinary perspectives.
My past research in the fields of epidemiology, child development, education, social determinants, and community resilience, have adequately prepared me for this challenge.
Methodological Approaches
Transdisciplinary research requires using a wide range of methodologies.
Participatory action research, mixed-methods designs, qualitative and quantitative methods, including statistical modelling, psychometrics, and survey design, are all approaches I draw from in my work.
Technology and Innovation in Research
If we want to engage young people in research, we cannot ignore the central role that interactive and communication technologies play for the digitally natives.
My research aims at developing a suite of digital tools and strategies that will promote resilience and emotional wellbeing among young people.
