Erica is a Research Principal in the Institute of Sustainable Futures and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Research Institute for Innovative Solutions for Well-being and Health at University of Technology Sydney. She is a public health researcher and educator with two primary areas of research interest. The first is environmental psychology, which includes the intersection between urban environments and human and planetary health, the psychosocial impacts from environmental change, and behaviour change and resilience to climate change. Her second area of research is health psychology including health care behaviours and decision-making, and communication in health care. Her program of research draws on psychological theory and complex systems thinking to explore the intersection of these topic areas to address the social and environmental determinants of health to promote health and wellbeing.
