Professional Summary:

I am doctoral student in Demography/Population Studies at the Department of Social Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). In 2018, I also attended the European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD) as an associate of the Max Plank Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, and the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense.

 

My research focuses on the demography of crises and violence. I am particularly interested in issues of family formation, fertility and population change in contexts affected by armed conflict and disasters. Part of my doctoral project also examines the consequences of conflict violence on the quality of intimate relationships, including implications for domestic abuse.
