I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Climate, Atmospheric Science, and Physical Oceanography at University of California, San Diego. I hold a PhD in Economic and Social Sciences from the Vienna University of Economics and Business. The focus of my research is on the impacts of climate change and variability on populations in low- and middle-income countries. I study health impacts, environmental migration, and the role of underlying socio-economic inequalities.
