Fiona Fylan
I am a Chartered Health Psychologist and I lead research in Sustainable Behaviour at the Leeds Sustainability Institute at Leeds Beckett University. This is an interdisciplinary unit that undertakes research to tackle problems such as road user behaviour, air pollution, poor housing fuel poverty, and the impact of the built environment on climate change. I provide expertise in understanding behaviour and developing and evaluating interventions to change behaviour.
