Murni is a social scientist working from CSIRO based in Canberra.  Murni has been working on the India-Australia Industry and Research Collaboration for Reducing Plastic Waste over the past two years. Murni’s research interest is on understanding people and how they make their decisions in relation to sustainability and land resource management using theoretical concepts from the field of social and environmental psychology. Murni has applied this approach to understanding behavioural change in many research areas including urban water (e.g. water restriction, demand management, decentralised water systems, water reuse and recycling), climate change and research for development. She is currently completing her PhD with University of Western Australia on farmer decision-making in Vietnam and Indonesia.
