Research

Ongoing

I am a researcher specialising in crisis governance, climate adaptation, and the political economy of disaster risk management. I hold a PhD in Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies from Leiden University. My work examines how political configurations shape institutional performance, coordination, and decision-making under hydrometeorological stress. Through comparative and grounded research, I seek to advance structural understandings of governance resilience in an era of intensifying climate risks.
