Biography

I am an anthropologist with a firm commitment to interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research. I possess expertise in digitization, technology politics, AI governance and regulation, migration and mobility and have researched peace and conflict transformation, human security, gender, and feminist discourses, using varied qualitative and quantitative methods. I also possess a wealth of experience and skills in publishing materials of high quality, presenting research at international events, managing projects, and building networks with academic and non-academic practitioners.
