She is a cognitive psychologist whose research is on decision-making under uncertainty, such as those involving severe weather, climate change, and medical treatment. Her highly interdisciplinary approach makes important theoretical contributions to the psychology of decision-making into decision-making in real-world situations, as well as having implications for best practices in uncertainty communication techniques in several domains.
