About Me
My research experience spans across disaster risk reduction (DRR), conflict and migration, climate change adaptation, genocide diplomacy, community vulnerability assessment, climate mobility, and disaster displacement. I specialise in the intersection of conflict and disaster, with a vision to improve the quality of life of displaced persons and stateless populations. I am driven by a passion for collaborating with frontline communities, aiming to understand their challenges comprehensively and develop actionable policy recommendations to meet their specific needs.
