I'm a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at The University of Southampton, United Kingdom. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at SoDa Labs and the Department of Economics at Monash University, Australia.
I’m an applied economist. My primary field of research is at the intersection of political economy, environmental and resource economics, and conflict. I also explore topics in long-run development and digital economics.
Some of my recent projects examine why even democratic states repress socioenvironmental protests, and how human rights organizations can hold powerful multinationals accountable in the absence of strong formal institutions. Much of my work involves building new datasets from text and geospatial sources, using methods from natural language processing, machine learning, and geocomputation.
