In my current and planned projects, I draw on empirical tools suited to analyzing conflict processes, geo-economic interventions, and security-related dynamics. Panel data econometrics and difference-in-differences estimation form an essential part of this toolkit. I employ spatial econometric methods and integrate geo-referenced data and remote-sensing products into the empirical design. Through this, I aim to develop research that engages with security policy, linking quantitative evidence to questions of geopolitical behavior, paramilitary activity, and institutional responses.

Looking ahead, I aim to supplement observational analyses with fieldwork-based data collection, where feasible within project constraints, to improve measurements of local conditions and strengthen empirical interpretation.

Although my doctorate is still in its early stage, these approaches lay the groundwork for a research agenda that combines micro-econometric identification, spatial analysis, and policy-relevant insights in conflict-affected and geopolitically significant environments.

Beyond these themes, I follow issues related to climate change and natural disasters, particularly where environmental shocks shape vulnerability, displacement, and state capacity in fragile settings. Topics such as food assistance, water access, and emergency relief further shape my thinking about how resource pressures intersect with political stability and humanitarian outcomes.

I am additionally interested in how natural resources affect incentives for state and non-state actors, as well as patterns of prosocial behavior and community responses during crises. These topics connect with my work on conflict and geo-economics by placing security dynamics within broader environmental and behavioral frameworks.
