I am an economist with interests in economics of armed conflict and security studies, economic policy and foreign aid. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at Royal Holloway, University of London, and currently I am employed as an Associate Professor of Economics at Coventry University. I am also an Associate Member of the Research Centre for Financial and Corporate Integrity at Coventry. My research often incorporates elements of economics and political science, for example, I studied the sensitivity of public opinion to war-related costs and terrorism. My recent projects also analyse the impact of terrorism and conflict on foreign aid allocation, targeting of civilians in war, economic sanctions, social trust in urban studies.
