I am a researcher specializing in conflict and defense economics. Currently, I hold the position of Research Fellow in the Global Risks and Resilience team at ODI. Additionally, I serve as an Associate Researcher at the Center for Studies and Research on International Development (CERDI).

My research focuses on the local determinants of recurring conflict in developing countries and their impact on political decision-making related to security and development. I employ a holistic approach to conflict risk analysis, examining economic and political factors across multiple scales. I focus on understanding how local determinants, such as income changes and climate extremes, interact with broader conflict drivers, including real and perceived inequalities, politicization dynamics and the international arms trade.

I am committed to advancing multidisciplinary and international research on peace and security, and I am always seeking opportunities to collaborate with researchers and practitioners who share this vision.
