Research

Chloe Huang's research focuses on experimental designs in consumer behavior, emphasizing the role of psychological factors in influencing and shaping consumer judgment and decision-making. Her primary research areas include Sustainable Consumption (e.g., how marketing communications or message framing in market practices impact consumer judgment and behavior), Consumer Aging (e.g., how psychological aging influences consumer responses to marketing strategies), Branding (e.g., how product descriptions provided by brands affect consumer perception and decision-making), and Sensory Marketing (e.g., how consumers respond to visual stimuli in the marketplace). She has recently developed an interest in EDI topics, with a particular focus on women-owned businesses and consumer responses to the emergence of these enterprises.


Chloe is welcoming PhD applications, particularly in research areas related to sustainable marketing, such as how consumers respond to marketing communications or which marketing practices effectively promote sustainable consumption, including the use of new technologies (e.g., AI). She is also interested in topics related to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), such as age diversity and gender-related research. Chloe is especially interested in supervising students who employ experimental design and quantitative methodological approaches in their research.


Chloe has successfully secured both internal and external funding for her research through various grant schemes. Her most recent funding achievements include:
