I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Government, University of Essex, a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Political Science, University College London, and a Teaching Assistant in the School of Government and Public Policy, University of Strathclyde.
My research focuses on the micro-dynamics of militant violence. In particular, I study militants’ target selection, tactic selection, and use of terrorism in civil conflict. I am interested, more broadly, in rebel governance and the spatial profile of violence. I also take an interest in quantitative methods (causal inference, maximum likelihood, and spatial econometrics).
I have previously worked as an Analyst and Researcher for Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), AKE International, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), E-International Relations (E-IR), Global Risk Insights, the School of Government and Public Policy, and the House of Commons (UK Parliament).
My doctoral research is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and affiliated with the Urban Violence Research Network. I am also a member of the Conflict and Change Group in the Department of Political Science, University College London.
