Ivo received a PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford. Ivo also worked as a research fellow at University College London, a senior lecturer at Imperial College London, and a professor at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick. He has a track record of research in decision science and behaviour change, which is published in academic journals, book chapters and government reports. Ivo’s research focuses on developing an integrated theory of behaviour change which combines principles from psychology, neuroscience, and economics. Testing the theory involves developing and evaluating behaviour change interventions in various domains such as health, finance, education, and environment.

Ivo has helped public and private organisations apply lessons from behavioural science.
