About Me

I am an assistant professor (lecturer) in the Department of Political Economy at King's College London, where I coordinate the Political Economy of Peace and Conflict research group. I am also a faculty affiliate in the Identity and Conflict Lab at Yale University. I received my PhD in 2018 from the European University Institute. My research focuses on political and intergroup conflict and cooperation. Please find my CV here.
