Senior Research Assistant/Env. Education Expert

Mr. Julius-Jayson A. Botchway is an Environmental Psychology enthusiast and Environmental Education Specialist trained at Cornell University. He possesses strong competencies in research design, data analysis, and behavioral modelling for sustainability. Mr. Botchway believes that environmental sustainability is fundamentally shaped by human behavior and advocates for evidence-based and technology-driven approaches to promote pro-environmental actions. His research interests lie at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), behavioral science, and sustainability, focusing on how data-informed modelling can strengthen the relationship between humans and their environment. His work explores consumer waste disposal behavior, circular economy transitions, sustainable consumption, and the use of persuasive technologies to design and implement interventions that foster environmentally responsible behavior.

Research Areas

His work looks at how AI and new technology is adopted by asking hard questions about who gets access, who owns the data, and who gets left behind. He applies these tools to everyday challenges like waste management and transportation, and mobility. By mixing technology with a deep understanding of human psychology, he tries to design systems that work for real people and help build a cleaner, more sustainable future.
