I am a DPhil in Politics student at the DPIR.
I was previously a MPhil student in Comparative Government at the DPIR. My thesis focused on:
- conceptualising non-state security actors, and;
- identifying the conditions under which states choose to outsource their coercive capabilities
I serve as a research assistant with the Department of Sociology, where I study the relationship between public and private violence, and with the Institute for Replication (I4R).
From 2020 to 2022, I served as a pre-doctoral fellow with J-PAL’s Payments and Governance Research Program. I received a Bachelor of Science in political science and data analytics from UC San Diego in 2020. I have also served as a research assistant for the Center for the Study of African Political Economy and as a lab assistant for the Center for Peace and Security Studies.
