Ellise Suffill, MSc PhD

After completing her PhD in Psychology of Language at the University of Edinburgh in 2019, Ellise Suffill worked as a post-doctoral scholar at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying human cognition and language development. Broadly, her interests centre on how language augments human thought and behaviour. Ellise joined the Environmental Psychology team at Vienna in November 2021, as part of the ZeroPM project. She will develop and test the effectiveness of targeted labelling and communication for everyday items containing persistent and mobile chemicals using an experimental approach. The ultimate aim of the project is to reduce the consumption and pollution of persistent and mobile substances across the EU.

Besides research, Ellise is dedicated to open science, mentorship and to equality in STEM, having sat on two equality award committees for Athena SWAN during her time at Edinburgh.
