I am a doctoral candidate in the Water and Development Research Group. Before braving the Nordic winters, I briefly worked on projects in South Africa on agricultural groundwater management and transboundary water governance with the International Water Management Institute and the International Union for Conservation of Nature. I hold a BSc. in Environmental Sciences and an MSc. in Water Security and International Development, both from the University of East Anglia (UK).

My research centres on water governance in dynamic and complex environments undergoing social and environmental change, and how we might more critically integrate concepts such as resilience and social-ecological systems into governance processes. I'm passionate about theorising critical political ecology perspectives on water resources management that account for complexity, power and politics, and how science can support policy in ways that foster the co-production of environmental knowledge and social values.

Main research interests:

• Water governance
• Critical political ecology
• Resilience and complexity in dynamic socio-hydrological systems (esp. southern Africa & southeast Asia)
• Participation, justice & social transformation
• Science-policy interface
• Rural livelihoods and water for pro-poor development
• Climate change adaptation
