Research themes

The PSI Research Group explores critical themes in environmental policy, governance of emerging technologies, and innovative strategies to address sustainability challenges
Environmental Policy & Governance
Our research explores the role of institutions—policies, regulations, norms, and decision-making processes—in addressing complex sustainability issues. We focus on areas like marine and coastal social-ecological systems, offshore renewable energy, ecosystem restoration, and societal adaptation to climate change.


Governance of Novel and Emerging Technologies
We investigate the implications of novel and emerging technologies for policy and regulation. Our projects include conservation gene drives, coral reef restoration through novel technologies, and the use of biopesticides to support sustainable crop protection.
