Bio


Mike is a postdoctoral scholar in the Climate Cognition Lab in Stanford University's Doerr School of Sustainability. His program of research examines how individual-level cognition scales up to shape collective phenomena. He studies how social bias propagates through organizations, and how people and institutions understand and respond to climate change. His research uses experiments and computational methods to tackle big social challenges like economic inequality and climate change inaction, and has been published in leading journals such as Nature Communications, Science Advances, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, and others.
