Dr. Laura M. Arpan is the Theodore Clevenger Professor of Communication and Director of Doctoral Studies in the School of Communication at Florida State University. Dr. Arpan’s research examines risk perceptions, human motivation and responses to pro-environmental messages, interventions, and related technologies. Her projects focus on the effectiveness of promotional messages and outreach efforts designed to encourage sustainable behaviors such as energy conservation and efficiency. Recent work has examined Americans’ attitudes toward energy conservation and sustainability, factors enhancing the effectiveness of information campaign messages promoting energy-use-reduction and sustainability

Cristina Piselli, Ph.D.
Cristina Piselli is Research Fellow at CIRIAF - Interuniversity Research Centre on Pollution and Environment “Mauro Felli”, Department of Engineering, University of Perugia, Italy. She received the Master degree in Building Engineering - Architecture at University of Perugia, Italy, in 2014 and the PhD in Energy and Sustainable development at CIRIAF - University of Perugia, Italy, in 2018. She participated in several National and International projects aimed at promoting building energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and human wellbeing in the built environment, such as the H2020 ZERO-PLUS project, the H2020 SWS-HEATING project, and the H2020 GeoFit project. Moreover, she is an expert member of IEA EBC Annex 79. At University of Perugia, she is a member of the EAP Lab (Environmental Applied Physics Laboratory) research team, dealing with building energy efficiency and, specifically, dynamic analysis of building energy performance, occupant behavior, human comfort in the built environment, urban heat island mitigation, and energy systems.
