My current research focuses primarily on children and armed conflict, decision-making in insurgency, and human consequences of war. 

​

I am specifically interested in how conflicts affect children's education and life opportunities, and why children are targeted in conflicts. My research experience has evolved around the causes and consequences of conflict, particularly concerning health, education, children's living conditions, child labor, ceasefires, and development aid. 

​

Empirically, I investigate these questions using quantitative methods from data science. That includes working with tabular, geospatial, survey, and text data. ​
